Emily W. Murphy

Emily Webster Murphy (born 1973) is an American attorney and government official. She was the administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA) from 2017 to 2021.
She was appointed as administrator in 2017 by President Donald Trump. She was criticized for her actions after the 2020 presidential election in delaying the start of the transition to a Joe Biden administration after Biden won the election on November 7.
Murphy at first did not want to sign a letter allowing Biden's transition team to access federal agencies and transition funds. She signed the letter on November 23, allowing the presidential transition process to begin.
