CLINTON, N.C. (AP) — Republican Rep. Greg Murphy won reelection to a U.S. House seat representing North Carolina on Tuesday.
Murphy faced only a Libertarian candidate in his bid for another term representing the 3rd Congressional District, which stretches from south-central rural counties to the Outer Banks and includes the Marine Corps installation Camp Lejeune.
The district includes Sampson County and stretches up to Virginia along the coast.
Murphy is a urologist and former state House member who first came to Congress by winning a special election in 2019 to succeed the late U.S. Rep. Walter Jones Jr.
Murphy is a member of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. The Associated Press declared Murphy the winner at 8:50 p.m. EST.
