Economy(3)
Supports lower tax rates for working families and simplifying the tax code, praising the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act for achieving historic lows.
"Thanks to President Trump and House Republicans passing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the tax rates for hard working families are at historic lows. Dr. Murphy has spent his time in Congress fighting to simplify the tax code for working families and to lower the rates they have to pay, regardless of income."
Opposes high government spending and rising debt, pledging to cut annual government spending.
"As our debt continues to rise irresponsibly under democratic rule, he has pledged to cut the amount of money the government spends annually."
Supports small business relief measures as part of the COVID-19 pandemic response.
"The United States has fought diligently in controlling this international pandemic, and it has found unprecedented ways of providing vaccines, healthcare, and small business relief to those affected."
Guns(2)
Cosponsored the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which would allow individuals to carry concealed firearms across states that permit such carrying.
"He also is an original cosponsor of the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which would allow constituents to carry concealed firearms between states that allow for such methods of carrying. This right should never be infringed upon."
Firmly supports the constitutional right to bear arms for law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and their families.
"Congressman Murphy is a firm supporter of the Second Amendment. He fundamentally believes in the constitutional right to bear arms for law-abiding citizens so they may protect themselves and their families."
Healthcare(2)
Favors a targeted approach protecting vulnerable/compromised groups rather than broad economic restrictions as the preferred pandemic healthcare strategy.
"Dr. Murphy believes a measured approach that protects compromised groups is and would have been a better approach than broad restrictions on the economy."
Supports fighting high prescription drug costs, having spent his career addressing this issue.
"He has spent his career fighting the high-cost of prescription drugs and the lack of access to quality, on-time care for patients."
Social Issues(2)
Dr. Murphy opposes efforts to strike down the Hyde Amendment, which restricts federal funding for abortion, and has actively defended it against liberal attempts to remove it.
"He has been at the tip of the spear as liberals like Speaker Pelosi have tried to strike down the Hyde Amendment and other pro-life provisions. The Hyde Amendment has been included in every government funding bill since 1976, with wide bipartisan support. Dr. Murphy has cosponsored numerous other bills to protect the lives of the unborn."
Dr. Murphy is a pro-life advocate who supports the Hyde Amendment and has cosponsored bills to protect the unborn, opposing abortion access and efforts to remove pro-life provisions from legislation.
"As a devout Christian and staunch believer of the unalienable right to life for all, Dr. Murphy is a proud supporter of pro-life issues. Dr. Murphy has had a lifelong allegiance to the unborn and the right-to-life."
