Dear Friend,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.
In Washington
As Title 42 ended last week, I know many of you were concerned the already exacerbated border would fall into even greater crisis. Every community across the country feels the effects of the border crisis. I recently spoke to Craven County Sheriff Hughes who laid out an unfortunate truth: every town in America is now a border town. Fentanyl poisons the population and crime continues to skyrocket. As Title 42 expired, House Republicans took action to put an end to this preventable crisis. Last week we passed H.R. 2 - the Secure the Border Act - which will continue construction of the border wall, increase the number of Border Patrol agents, end catch and release, and protect unaccompanied minors. Put simply, H.R. 2 is the solution President Biden failed to provide. You can read more on my vote to secure the southern border here.
House Republicans also delivered several necessary bills aimed at supporting the brave men and women in law enforcement as part of National Police Week. Despite serving as daily protectors of our safety, the heroes in law enforcement are under constant attack. This year alone, the number of officers shot in the line of duty is up 52% from this time in 2020. Make no mistake about it, dangerous ‘Defund the Police’ rhetoric and soft-on-crime policies put our law enforcement in grave danger. You can read more here on how our critical pieces of legislation ensure the heroes in blue are given the support they need.
In addition to passing legislation, the House has been hard at work with committee hearings. During a recent Ways and Means Health Subcommittee hearing, we explored some of the barriers the federal government has put up that inhibit innovation and patient access. Tragically, pediatric patients feel the ill-effects of this unnecessary hindrance. Click here or on the image below to listen to my remarks in which I explain why that is and what we can do about it.
During this week’s Veterans' Affairs Health Subcommittee hearing, I was able to question representatives from the Veterans Health Administration as to how their bureaucratic web of red tape hinders recruitment efforts. Our veterans deserve access to quick and reliable care. Federal bureaucracy must not stand in the way. You can watch my full remarks by clicking here or on the image below.
During this week's Committee on House Administration hearing, we had the opportunity to question the new Capitol Police Chief. January 6th displayed a catastrophic failure in leadership and a lack of preparedness regarding the security of our Capitol. I exchanged these sentiments with Chief Manger to ensure it never happens again. You can watch our discussion by clicking here or on the image below.
This week, the Congressional Epilepsy Caucus welcomed leaders in the epilepsy community for our first ever meeting. We discussed funding priorities that will improve access to care, health outcomes, and awareness. Sadly enough, the millions of Americans suffering from epilepsy have little to no support in Congress. That is why this year Congressman Jim Costa and I founded the bipartisan Congressional Epilepsy Caucus: to empower the epilepsy community - one whose voice is long-overdue in Washington - and raise much-needed education and awareness. As a practicing surgeon for over 30 years, I am committed to heightening education of this very common but often stigmatized malady. Thank you to everyone who participated in this week’s meeting and the critical role they play within the epilepsy community.
In the District
Earlier this month, my office held the Congressional Art Competition. We had 16 participants from 9 high schools across NC-03 submit artwork centered around this year’s theme: JOY! Kate Keenhold of Arendell Parrott Academy took home first place with her incredible piece, Sunset on the Trent. Kate’s winning piece will be displayed in the United States Capitol for one year. Thank you, Kate, for embracing this year’s theme of JOY and showcasing our district's true talent.
In the News
I joined Wake Up America this week to discuss my work on the House Ways and Means Committee. You can watch the full interview by clicking here or on the image above.

US Senator for North Carolina
https://www.burr.senate.gov/
February 16, 2021: The Beaufort County Republican Party voted unanimously to censure Richard Burr for his vote to convict former President Trump in the impeachment trial which he declared to be unconstitutional. He is disloyal and an embarrassment to the party.
First elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994, Richard served five terms in the House and is currently serving North Carolina in his third term in the U.S. Senate. He is a vocal advocate for our men and women in the military and their families, and for the growing population of veterans across North Carolina. In the Senate, Richard serves as Chairman of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence where he puts the security of the American people first, while providing rigorous oversight of our intelligence community. He also sits on the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee and the Finance Committee. The son of a minister, Richard and his family moved to Winston-Salem, North Carolina when he was a young child. After graduating from Wake Forest University, he began his career far from the halls of Congress by spending seventeen years in business with Carswell Distributing, a wholesale commercial products company. He also serves as a Board Member of Brenner Children’s Hospital and on the West Point Board of Visitors. Richard and his wife, Brooke, have two sons. DR GREG MURPHY

He is also a member of the ECU School of Medicine Faculty and a former Chief of Staff of Vidant Medical Center in Greenville. Greg took another turn in service when he was appointed the State Legislature and has twice been reelected to the State House. He has championed the fight against the opioid epidemic, worked on health care reform and been a consistent conservative voice in Raleigh, protecting taxpayer dollars while making sure vital services are met. Greg believes in limited government, he supports our military, and our second amendment right. 
THOM TILLIS
US Senator for North Carolina
https://www.tillis.senate.gov/
Thom was born into a working-class family with his father and mother and five siblings. During his childhood, his family was frequently forced to relocate depending on where his parents could find work. After graduating from high school, Thom was unable to afford college, so he took a job as a warehouse records clerk earning minimum wage. He knows firsthand how difficult it is to raise a family while attending school at night, struggling to make ends meet.Through hard work and dedication, Thom quickly moved up the corporate ladder, earning his degree at 36 and becoming a top-level executive at PricewaterhouseCoopers and IBM. Thom’s 29-year private sector career in technology and management consulting provided him with a deep understanding of policy-making and the management of complex organizations.Fueled by a desire to make a difference in his local community, Thom’s involvement in public service began by serving as the PTA president of his daughter’s high school and as a member of the Town of Cornelius Board of Commissioners. In 2006, he was elected to the North Carolina House of Representatives and was selected by his peers to serve as Speaker of the House from 2011 to 2014. As Speaker, Thom played an instrumental role in enacting job-creating policies and reforming North Carolina’s tax and regulatory codes. Thom was elected as U.S. Senator in 2014 and he has focused on pragmatic solutions and delivering results for North Carolina.
Thom lives with his wife Susan in Huntersville, North Carolina, and they are the proud parents of two grown children and two granddaughters.
