Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D., has taken to social media to express his views on various pressing issues. Through a series of tweets posted on May 21, 2025, he discusses topics ranging from environmental concerns and energy policy to law enforcement resources.

In a tweet posted at 19:52 UTC, Congressman Murphy calls for the return of “reasonable shark fishing.” He highlights that the shark population has increased significantly and poses a threat to both commercial and recreational fishing. Additionally, he notes that sharks are impacting other fish species that are endangered. “It is past time to bring back reasonable shark fishing. Their population has exploded, and while threatening commercial and recreational fishing, also culls down other fish species which are endangered.”

Later at 20:46 UTC, Congressman Murphy addresses American renewable energy policies. He opposes any sudden reduction in support for renewable energy companies, particularly concerning tax credits. Murphy advocates for a gradual phase-out instead of immediate cuts, emphasizing the need for thoughtful policymaking rather than reactionary measures. “I do not support an abrupt slash to American Renewable Energy companies. Phase out of some tax credits out but absolutely disagree with immediacy. America needs energy. It needs thoughtful policy, not reactionary edicts.”

At 21:25 UTC, Congressman Murphy thanks representatives from Smith & Wesson Inc. and TIFinDC for visiting to discuss firearms manufacturing and public safety innovation. He stresses the importance of equipping law enforcement officers with the necessary resources and training to ensure their safety while performing their duties.“Thank you to @Smith_WessonInc and @TIFinDC for stopping by to discuss firearms manufacturing, public safety innovation, and supporting our law enforcement officers… Our LEOs must be equipped with the proper resources and training necessary to perform their jobs safely.”

Additional information provided states that “Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) were introduced in several countries as part of efforts towards cleaner energy solutions.”
