Being a world-class destination means world-class services for the people who live here, and I’m so inspired by the support that vision has earned from every corner of Orange County. Between now and election day, I’ll continue sharing that vision with as many of you as possible.

When my family fled Vietnam, a U.S. Navy ship found us adrift at sea. They stopped to save us, and that act of grace changed the course of my life. The freedoms and opportunities we enjoy today are only possible because of people like those sailors and others who served. Today we honor them.

Potholes and permitting aren’t partisan.     My “why” is my lived experience and love for this country. My “how” is my professional experience.     Thank you to the Log Cabin Republicans for welcoming me to speak at last week’s meeting.

For too long, Bithlo was a place Orange County forgot.  But Bithlo didn't give up. And neither did we. Now, it’s home to UGO’s Transformation Village – a hub of hope, with real opportunity.  As your County Mayor, I'll make sure no community gets left behind.

In Congress, representing a purple district meant weighing every decision carefully. Orange County Mayor is a nonpartisan role, and I’ll bring that same thoughtful, results-focused approach to make the right calls for our entire community.

Affordability. Livability. Prosperity. These are the pillars of my campaign to be your Orange County mayor. Thank you, National Entrepreneur Center, for giving me the opportunity to speak to your community on these important topics. #murphyformayor #orangecountyfl

I was so pleased to join Orlando's National Entrepreneur Center for their series talking with candidates for Orange County Mayor, to discuss why I’m running and what I believe we need to make it possible for everyone in Orange County to thrive. #murphyformayor #orangecountyfl

With gas prices on the rise, good public transit isn't a nice-to-have. It's a lifeline for working families in Orange County.

It was an incredible honor to speak at today’s naturalization ceremony. Moments like this are a powerful reminder that America stands for opportunity, hope, & the belief that no matter where you come from, you can build a future here. Welcoming new citizens into that promise is truly special.

What happens halfway around the world is showing up here at home. The war in Iran is driving up the cost of gas, groceries, and everyday essentials, impacting families and businesses across Central Florida. – WATCH my conversation about it with the BBC’s The Context.

If you want to understand a community, you have to understand how it shows up for people who are struggling. Real solutions start with listening, learning, and working alongside the people - like those at Matthew's Hope Chest - who are doing the work every day.

Permitting should protect our community and help us build the housing we need. Right now it’s doing too much of the first, and not enough of the second. #permitting #orangecountyfl #MurphyForMayor

Thank you, Habitat for Humanity Orlando & Osceola for the work you do towards housing solutions. #habitatforhumanity #housing #orangecountyfl

Having a space like the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts makes downtown Orlando a world-class destination for entertainment and economic activity. It also gives residents access to incredible arts and cultural experiences. #orangecountyfl

What can our County Mayor do about attainable housing in Orange County? Plenty. #orangecountyfl #housing

Proud to be running to support the OC Legal Aid Society this morning - off we go! #oclegalaid #5k #orangecountyfl

I was honored to join the Hispanic Chamber's IGNITE 2026 luncheon today, acknowledging the incredible contributions and successes of Orange County's Hispanic community. Congratulations to all the awardees! #ignite2026 #hispanicchamber #orangecountyfl

I’m Stephanie Murphy—and I’m running for Mayor of Orange County, Florida. I was honored to represent parts of Orange County in Congress. I’m ready to bring my results-driven approach to our community so we can grow smarter, make life more affordable, and build a better future.
