Congressman Greg Murphy most recent updates from ENC and Washington, D.C.

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   August District Work Period To wrap up the summer, Members of Congress have continued to be back in our districts for extended time during it I have been traveling across NC-03 to visit with constituents, local businesses, our military installations, and community stakeholders as you've seen. I am grateful to have been back home to listen to your concerns about the latest issues impacting our communities and I look forward to continuing to work on your behalf back in Washington next week. During this period, I have also fulfilled my constitutional duty to meet with our allies to discuss global trade and tax policies, and flood mitigation strategies. As a member of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade, it is critical to visit with ministers of trade from foreign nations to ensure that American products, especially those from Eastern North Carolina, have access to their nations' markets. It is often a difficult challenge to make the case in favor of introducing more American exports into their economies, especially our agricultural products. Here is a photo of the Republican delegation that met with OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann and officials:   In the District   Visit to Weyerhaeuser It was a pleasure visiting the Weyerhaeuser facility in Vanceboro to hear about the challenges facing the lumber industry. As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, I’m committed to improving our tax code and ensuring our trade relationships benefit American businesses. Visit to Carteret County Beach Commission It was great to meet with the Carteret County Beach Commission to discuss coastal issues impacting Eastern North Carolina. We are working to act proactively to protect our coastal communities and to ensure they continue to thrive. Mixing water, wind, sand, and the tides can create residential and navigational challenges. We must continue to do a great balancing act between protecting the environment, but also allowing individuals to enjoy the great resources that Eastern NC offers. Visit to Carteret Health Care Thank you to Carteret Health Care, which continues to a viable, independent hospital, for having me today to discuss the impact of other nearby facilities closing, like Martin General Hospital, or scaling back services. As a physician for over 30 years, I’ve seen the field of health care evolve and have made improving access to services in rural communities one of my top priorities in Congress. Visit to Newport/Morehead City National Weather Service Station My team and I had a powerful visit to the Newport/Morehead City National Weather Service station to learn about the facility and hear about the impactful work they do. Working around the clock, they keep us informed about ever changing weather that affects all of our lives. In Eastern North Carolina, we understand how intense weather systems, such as Hurricane Idalia, in the Atlantic are. It’s critical that we are able to accurately forecast weather patterns to protect our community and save lives. We are honored to be ambassadors with them to help keeping folks educated about threatening weather events. Visit to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base I visited Seymour Johnson Air Force Base for an update on its operations and upcoming projects, and was pleased to learn the Air Force’s plan is to train all F-15 pilots at SJAFB. I’m grateful for the service of the airmen and women and their efforts to keep us safe. Visit to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune NC is well known to be a military friendly state and the 3rd District understands how vital it is to back our troops. It was an honor to meet with our Marines and those who support them. With a very high threat level in the world today, we must support those who keep us free. During my visit to Camp Lejeune and I toured the Camp Lejeune High School to learn about the latest initiatives on base. The fine folks stationed here are some of the most dedicated public servants the United States has, and I am honored to support them! Sincerely,   Greg Murphy Member of Congress
