Murphy Applauds Election of Speaker Mike Johnson

Washington, D.C. — Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. issued the following statement in response to Speaker Mike Johnson being elected to lead the House of Representatives in the 119th Congress.

"Speaker Johnson is the leader House Republicans need to deliver for the American people and swiftly move President Trump's agenda through Congress,"  said Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. "The last four years were difficult for this nation. With a very narrow majority, it is paramount that we remain unified as a body. We have a lot of work ahead of us and must fulfill our promises to lower the cost of living, secure our borders, preserve freedom in the United States, and achieve peace through strength globally.

"As we govern with a mandate on these issues, we must also take action on the crises afflicting American medicine. As a practicing physician of over 30 years, I am determined to disrupt the status quo in health care that has led to immense industry consolidation, reduced access to affordable, high-quality care, discriminatory hiring and educational practices, and the overall decline in our nation's health. I look forward to continuing to work with Speaker Johnson to address these critical matters."
