Murphy declared her candidacy for theUnited States House of RepresentativesforFlorida's 7th congressional districtin the 2016 elections. She ran against 12-term incumbentRepublicanJohn Micain the November 8 general election.[7]She was endorsed by PresidentBarack Obama,Vice PresidentJoe Biden,and former congresswomanGabby Giffords.[6][14][15]Murphy defeated Mica with 51% of the vote.[16]She is the secondVietnamese-American,afterJoseph Cao,to be elected to theUnited States Congress,and the first Vietnamese-American woman to do so.[6]

Murphy ran in a district that was somewhat bluer than its predecessor after a court-ordered mid-decade redistricting. The old 7th had been a marginal district, even though Mica had won it twice without serious difficulty (he represented a more RepublicanSt. Augustine/Daytona Beach/Orlando district from 1993 to 2013).Mitt Romneywon it overBarack Obamain 2012, with 51% of the vote.[17]In contrast, had the redrawn 7th existed in 2012, Obama would have won it with 49.4%.[18]

After meeting with President Trump in September 2017, Murphy said that she and fellow Democrats could work with him.[19]

2018

[edit]

According to political commentators, Murphy faced the challenge of representing an evenly divided district. "Of the three freshman Democrats from Central Florida, which include U.S. Reps.Val Demings,D-Orlando, andDarren Soto,D-Kissimmee, Murphy faces the toughest race for re-election, "theOrlando Sentinelwrote on January 2, 2018. "I think she has one of the toughest districts in the country," said Susan MacManus, a political science professor at theUniversity of South Florida."It's very difficult to please everybody in a swing district, and that's why it's so challenging."[19]

Murphy defeated Republicanstate RepresentativeMike Millerwith 57.6% of the vote,

2020

[edit]

Tenure

[edit]

Murphy was sworn into office on January 3, 2017. She has urged theFederal Bureau of Investigationto investigatevarious bomb threats against Jewish facilities.[20]She joined theBlue Dog Coalitionin the115th U.S. Congress,[21]and in December 2018 was named one of three co-chairs, handling administration, for the116th U.S. Congress.[22]

With the Democrats winning a majority in the House in 2018, Murphy was named to theWays and Means Committee.[23]

In March 2019, Murphy endorsedBeto O'Rourkein the2020 Democratic party presidential primaries.[24]After O'Rourkewithdrewfrom the race, Murphy endorsedMichael Bloombergin January 2020, becoming his campaign's national co-chair.[25]After Bloombergwithdrewin March 2020, Murphy endorsedJoe Biden.[26]

On December 20, 2021, Murphy announced onTwitterthat she would not seek reelection to a fourth term, writing, "I've decided not to seek another term in Congress. Serving Central Florida has been the honor of my life, but it's also been incredibly challenging for my family and me." There was speculation that her decision was made because Republicans in the state legislature would redraw her into an unwinnable district, but the decision came several months before new maps were approved in May 2022.[27]

Investigation into the January 6 attack on the Capitol

[edit]

On July 1, 2021, Murphy was one of seven Democrats Speaker Nancy Pelosi appointed to theUnited States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack.[28]In a statement following the announcement, Murphy pledged "to fulfill this solemn responsibility to the best of my ability. My goal is simple and straightforward: to find the truth of what happened, and why it happened, so we can ensure that it never happens again. I will follow the facts wherever, and to whomever, they lead—without preconceived conclusions and through a strictly non-partisan lens." She concluded her statement: "To see the citadel of American democracy assaulted is a reminder that our democracy is not self-sustaining. It needs to be preserved and protected by American patriots of every political stripe.”[29]

On July 12, 2022, Murphy co-led the Select Committee's seventh public hearing with RepresentativeJamie Raskin.In her opening statement, she said, "We will show some of the coordination that occurred between the White House and members of Congress as it relates to January 6th. And some of these members of Congress would later seek pardons."[30][31]The hearing also focused on the role the far-right extremist groupsProud BoysandOath Keepersplayed in organizing the attack. Trump's December 19, 2020, tweet "Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!" and its spread to his supporters was also discussed. To show the impact, the committee played audio recordings of its interview with an anonymousTwitteremployee who worked from 2020 to 2021 and was on the team responsible for the platform's content moderation policies. The employee said the tweet served "as a call to action, and in some cases as a call to arms" to Trump's supporters.[32]

In Murphy's closing statement, she said: "Our committee’s overriding objective is to fight fiction with facts. To create a full account for the American people and for the historical record. To tell the truth of what happened and why it happened. To make recommendations so it never happens again. To defend our democracy. To me, there is nothing more patriotic than that."

Infrastructure

[edit]

In 2021, Murphy was one of nine Democrats who refused to support theBuild Back Better Actunless the House first voted on theInfrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.[38]

Economy and COVID-19 relief

[edit]

Murphy is a self-identified capitalist.[39][40]She supports abalanced budget amendmentto theU.S. constitution,which would prohibit the government from spending more than it takes in on a given year. She views growing federal budget deficits as "major threats to the economy, the future health of America, and national security."[41][42]

In an April 2020 conference call with business executives and lobbyists, Murphy expressed support for a lobbyist-led effort to reverse a ban in the originalCARES Actthat blockedbusiness advocacy and lobbying groupsfrom participating in the taxpayer-fundedPaycheck Protection Program.The effort included a request to be eligible for an additional $25 billion in government funds for canceled events and other lost revenue from the pandemic.[43]

Murphy was part of an effort by some Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill to use the coronavirus outbreak to press Trump to remove tariffs on billions of dollars worth of Chinese goods and imported steel and aluminum.[44]After the administration rejected the requests, she and RepresentativeJoe Cunninghamsent House SpeakerNancy Pelosia letter requesting that she include a suspension of the tariffs in theCOVID-19 relief packageand mandate that the government refund to businesses the tariffs already paid on imported Chinese goods and imported steel and aluminum.[45][46]

Murphy introduced a bill to make it easier for small business owners to obtain low-interest loans. It passed the House. She also co-sponsored a law, passed and signed by Trump, that ensures that small businesses will receive a share of federal government contracts.[19]

Immigration

[edit]

Murphy supports comprehensive immigration reform to fix what she characterizes as a broken system with one that is "consistent with American values."[40]She supports a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants and reforms to the visa system to focus on economic development.[40]To demonstrate her support for immigration reform, she posted online a picture of herself wearing an "I Am An Immigrant" t-shirt along with the message, "#IAmAnImmigrant and proud of it. Our nation's diversity is its strength. Opportunity and freedom keep the American dream alive."[47]

Murphy was one of 24 House Democrats to vote forKate's Law,[48]which proposes to increase the penalties for those who have been deported or removed from the U.S. and are apprehended reentering the country.[49]

Murphy opposed Trump'sexecutive orderto temporarily ban entry into the U.S. by citizens of six Muslim-majority countries, North Korea and Venezuela. "I strongly oppose the President's executive orders on refugees, which violate fundamental American values and undermine our national security," she said. "We must work in a bipartisan manner to strengthen our refugee policy in a way that keeps us secure AND upholds our values."[50]

Gun policy

[edit]

Murphy decided to run for office when incumbent RepublicanJohn Micaaccepted a campaign contribution from theNational Rifle Association of America(NRA) two days after thePulse nightclub shootingin Orlando, Florida (the7th congressional districtincludes much of Orlando). She won office with the support of gun-control groups, such asAmericans for Responsible Solutionsand the Pride Fund to End Gun Violence, which formed after the Pulse shooting. Murphy supportsuniversal background checks,as well as prohibiting those on theNo Fly Listfrom purchasing firearms.[51]She has said, "We should protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners, but we should also protect our communities by passing commonsense gun laws."[52]

In 2017, Murphy introduced into the House the"Gun Violence Research Act",which was designed to repeal the 1996Dickey Amendment,a federal ban on the use of federal funds to fund gun-violence research. She said the ban on gun-violence research was "un-American to its core."[53]After the 2018Stoneman Douglas High School shootinginParkland, Florida,several Republican Congress members indicated that they supported the Gun Violence Research Act, and Murphy ultimately spoke to Vice President Mike Pence, which she credits with helping the bill pass as an amendment to a budget bill that year.[54]The first grants for studies were issued in October 2020.[55]In March 2018, Murphy said that gun control might be approaching "a tipping point" because young people "had to grow up where they don't know anything but school mass shootings. They're sick and tired of it, and they're activating."[56]

Impeachments of Donald Trump

[edit]

On December 18, 2019, Murphy voted for both articles of impeachment against Trump.[57]

On January 7, 2021, Murphy called for Trump to be removed from office under the25th amendmentof theU.S. Constitution.[58]She voted in favor of Trump's second impeachment on January 13, 2021.[59]

Military

[edit]

Murphy was one of 8 Democrats to oppose a Houseresolutionlimiting Trump'smilitary actions against Iranwithoutcongressional approval.[60][61][62]

National security

[edit]

In the aftermath of theattack on the Capitol,Murphy proposed to deny security clearances toQAnonbelievers.[63]

In a December 2020 op-ed in theTampa Bay Times,Murphy characterized climate change as a "national security threat and economic opportunity" for Florida.[64]

Police reform

[edit]

Murphy co-sponsored theGeorge Floyd Justice in Policing Act,a sweeping civil rights and police reform bill that would limit legal protections for police from individual lawsuits, banchokeholds,create a national registry of police misconduct, and grant theDepartment of Justicemore power to investigate local police departments for potential misconduct, among a number of other provisions.[65][66][67]

Murphy authored a statement from theBlue Dog Caucuscalling for "swift and systematic change" and calling on Republicans to join them in pursuing police reform.[66]

Trade

[edit]

Murphy considers herself a pro-trade Democrat, saying in a speech before the National Foreign Trade Council Foundation, "...I don’t support free trade. That’s a common term, but a misnomer—because it suggests unfettered trade or a free-for-all. I believe trade in goods and services is vital to advancing America’s economic and security interests. I believe protectionist measures are more likely to result in self-harm than self-preservation. I support a trading system that is rules-based. These rules should help ensure U.S. companies rise or fall on their own merits, and don’t have to compete on an unfair playing field with foreign-based companies that mistreat workers, pollute the environment, steal intellectual property, or receive excessive government support."[68]

In February 2022, Murphy was the only House Democrat to vote against theAmerica COMPETES Act of 2022,a bill primarily focused on encouraging and strengthening American scientific and technological innovation andR&D.Murphy said that while she supported many elements of the bill, "the trade section of the bill includes problematic, poorly-vetted provisions and excludes sensible, bipartisan provisions that were part of the Senate-passed version of the bill" according to Murphy. She said the bill "does more to limit trade than to enhance trade, even though expanded trade helps far more American workers than it hurts, reduces the prices that American consumers pay for goods and services, and is a powerful weapon in our strategic competition with China."[69]

Big Tech

[edit]

In 2022, Murphy was one of 16 Democrats to vote against the Merger Filing Fee Modernization Act of 2022, an antitrust package that would crack down on corporations for anti-competitive behavior.[70][71]

Personal life

[edit]

Murphy and her husband, Sean, have two children.[72]She is aProtestantChristian.[73]
