Dear [salutation], Thank you for taking the time to read my most recent updates from Eastern North Carolina and Washington, D.C. As always, it remains a true honor and a privilege to represent you in Congress! If this email was forwarded to you, you can subscribe to my e-newsletter here.   Quote of the Week On this day in 1980, the U.S. Men's Olympic Hockey Team, composed of college players, defeated the four-time defending gold medal-winning Soviet Union team at the Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York. “Great moments are born from great opportunity.” – Herb Brooks, Miracle. Watching the Olympics and rooting for our exceptional American athletes is one of my favorite pastimes. It is so necessary to take a moment from our busy lives and realize we all have so much to be grateful for in the United States. In interacting with so many wonderful people in the East, I am constantly reminded of the blessings we have, especially when watching the world come together to compete against one another. This past week, I had the wonderful privilege to be back in beautiful Eastern North Carolina, meeting with community leaders and constituents. Across our communities are incredible people who love our country and are optimistic about our future. From securing federal funds for local projects to fighting for farmers' future, I remain resolute in my commitment to being your best advocate in Washington. We have many great challenges ahead of us, including lowering the cost of living (especially healthcare), improving community safety, and preserving the American Dream for young individuals and families. It is my greatest honor to fight for you to make life easier and opportunities more available for those I represent. America is at a very pivotal moment in our nation's history, and we must remain steadfast in our purpose in Washington to deliver meaningful results that folks feel here at home. It is a privilege to represent you and be a strong voice for the needs of Eastern North Carolina in Congress. God never promised us an easy life, and we must find ways to seek a better life for those we care about. I will continue fighting for the values of North Carolina's Third Congressional District. If you wish to stay more engaged and aware of what is happening in Washington and our District, please follow me on my social media accounts linked above or here: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.   In the District   Hosted Agriculture Roundtable in Greenville I hosted an agriculture roundtable in Greenville alongside Congressman David Rouzer with Eastern North Carolina farmers to hear their concerns and receive feedback on how Congress can help them succeed. We had a very vibrant conversation about labor costs, commodity prices, crop insurance reforms, market access and trade, America’s relationship with China, and critical tax provisions that support the agricultural economy. As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, I had the privilege of helping to write the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which preserved and enhanced the Death Tax exemption, immediate expensing, and the 199(a) deduction. Farmers are the backbone of Eastern North Carolina's success. America’s grocery stores and dinner tables would not be filled with nutritional food without the immense contributions of our producers here in Eastern North Carolina. It is my honor to represent so many incredible families and operations, and I will never stop fighting for you! Secured $1,000,000 in Federal Funding for Farmville It was a privilege to meet with Farmville Mayor Joyner and town leadership to celebrate $1,000,000 in federal funding I secured to help build a new fire department. Additionally, I had the opportunity to listen to the challenges the community faces and how I can help ensure it continues to have the resources it needs to thrive. The current facility is nearly 100 years old and is not ADA accessible. Additionally, the current fire department is in a congested downtown area with no means of expansion, and it lacks adequate truck storage and operational space. I remain committed to being an accessible representative and being your best advocate in Congress! Habitat for Humanity Home Dedication in Farmville It was my honor to attend a Habitat for Humanity home dedication in Farmville! This was not just a celebration of a new home, but the beginning of a new chapter for a family and a stronger future for our community. A home like this doesn’t happen overnight, but because a family completed classes, put in the work, and prepared for the responsibilities of homeownership.  A stable home is a foundation for so many good things. It means children have a quiet place to study, families have security, and parents can plan for the future instead of worrying about the present. It is the basis for generational change that changes the trajectory of the future. I want to thank every volunteer who gave their time, every sponsor who gave resources, and every supporter who believed in this mission! Team Murphy Participates in Eastern North Carolina Operational Range Drone Event Team Murphy had the pleasure of attending an event providing a comprehensive overview of the Eastern North Carolina Operational Range (ENCOR). At the event, live flight and communication demonstrations were conducted. ENCOR is a cutting-edge operational range spanning air, land, sea, cyber, and space. Drone dominance is the future of warfare and emergency response, and America must lead in the next frontier of security to keep our country safe! Team Murphy Recognizes Eagle Scout Jacob Lewis Team Murphy had the wonderful opportunity to recognize Eagle Scout Jacob Lewis of Troop 252 in Carteret County and present him with a flag flown over the United States Capitol. Jacob built a beautiful donation box for the Austin Veterinary Animal Hospital in Beaufort to help our furry friends in need! I am proud of Jacob and his troop for their service to our community, and am encouraged by the leadership of these young men. Team Murphy Tours New One Place Facility in Jacksonville Team Murphy had the privilege of touring One Place's new facility in Jacksonville and hearing about its goals for 2027.  This vital organization is tragically necessary because they treat and care for kids who are subject to child abuse. We have to help our children as best as we can, and this is a tremendous facility that will continue to do just that. One Place has been serving Onslow County for over 25 years, and I am proud to support its efforts.   National Cancer Prevention Month   February is National Cancer Prevention Month, a time in which we recognize the tragedy that cancerous diseases are and the steps we can take to prevent them. Over a third of cancer cases are linked to lifestyle and could be mitigated or avoided entirely. Smoking, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, and a poor diet are major contributors, and these are choices that we make. Choices that one day may shorten our lifespan and take away precious time from our loved ones. As hard as it may be, we must curb these dangerous behaviors. Yet, most other cancers occur randomly through no fault of our own, so screening, when possible, is key to early detection, which we know gives a higher rate of cure. Scientific breakthroughs over the last decade have made such tremendous advances in cancer treatment. Over the last 25 years, the five-year survival rates of cancers that have metastasized have actually doubled. I pray these innovative treatments will continue to make life with cancer a survivable experience for every patient.  As a physician and surgeon, I have treated countless patients who have suffered from terrible cancer diagnoses. Raising awareness of the causes of cancer and encouraging loved ones to lead healthy lives is one of the most impactful ways we can work to improve America's health. Sincerely,   Greg Murphy Member of Congress
