Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) had a “successful” surgery on Tuesday after announcing his diagnosis of a skull tumor last week.

“Dr. Murphy underwent a successful 5-hour surgery today and is resting comfortably,” said Alexander Crane, communications director for Murphy. “He wants to thank everybody for their thoughts and prayers and to let everyone know he is working hard to recover so that he will get back to his job of serving the wonderful people of NC‘s 3rd District.”
