§3What they've said on the issues

Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.

Taxes and Budget

Taxes on tips and overtime

His campaign economy page says he helped write and pass the Working Families Tax Cut, which it says included no tax on tips and no tax on overtime pay.9

Family and Social Policy

Child tax credit

His campaign economy page says the Working Families Tax Cut he helped write and pass enhanced the child tax credit and the standard deduction.9

Agriculture and Rural Life

Visas for farmworkers

His campaign farmers page says he advocates for fair H-2A labor rates and for cutting red tape to cut down on the labor costs that raise farm expenses.10

  1. Make the program easier and cheaper for farms, including for year-round work like dairy
  2. Keep the program as it is
  3. Raise required wages and worker protections
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Foreign Policy and Defense

Military spending

His campaign troops page says the armed forces need enough resources to deter enemies, and lists federal money for construction on bases and pay raises for troops among his accomplishments.11

Immigration

Immigration enforcement inside the country

His campaign border page says he supports President Trump's actions to secure the border and that immigration laws must be enforced with a crackdown on abuses, and that people who came here illegally must not be allowed to take benefits, jobs, housing and public safety from Americans or to live in the United States.12

  1. Abolish ICE and move any remaining enforcement work to other agencies
  2. Deport only people convicted of serious crimes or who threaten national security
  3. Focus on people with criminal records and recent border crossers
  4. Deport as many people here without legal permission as possible, with or without criminal records
Marked: the option their statement matches.

§4Popular bills that never got a vote

Why this matters: Many bills with wide support from both parties never reach a vote, so no member of Congress is ever on record for or against them. Signing on as a sponsor or cosponsor is the only public record of support.

While Greg Murphy served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Greg Murphy sponsored or cosponsored 23 of the 52. How bills die without a vote.

§5Money

Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.

Outside spending

Groups spending independently reported $847,948 supporting and $326,560 opposing Greg Murphy this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 26, 2026.66

Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.

§6Financial disclosures

Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
