Former member of Congress · last served 115th Congress
Tim Murphy
Tim Murphy was a Republican U.S. representative from Pennsylvania, first elected to Congress in 2003, who voted with most Republicans on 94% of the 112th Congress’s yes/no votes.
How we count: “Broke with party” is a yes/no roll call where the member voted against most of their own party on that vote (party as recorded; even splits not counted). “Pork: own share” splits each earmark shared by several members evenly among them.

Results run through the 2024 elections; nothing from 2026 is shown until it is certified. A margin is a fact about one election, never a score of how well a member represents anyone, and PORKER does not rank members by it.
How has Pennsylvania done while Rep. Murphy served?
2005 to 2016 in Pennsylvania: typical household income was up 4% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was up 1.0 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was down 0.9 points.
Each mini chart has its own scale, fitted to its lines (it does not start at zero), so compare the numbers, not the heights. Oxblood = state, grey = U.S.
While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in Pennsylvania during Murphy’s time representing it (2003 to 2017). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.
Survey years start at 2005. The yearly estimates for Pennsylvania begin in 2005, so 2003 to 2004 are not shown. No 2020 yearly estimate exists.

Read this first. These are counts of records Congress.gov lists. Many bills never get a CBO estimate or a report, so a zero is not a mark against a member. We never show this as a score.
