Congresswoman Valerie Foushee
@foushee.house.gov
Proudly representing North Carolina's 4th Congressional District.
I am proud to join @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social, @hoyer.house.gov, and @vanhollen.senate.gov's Federal Workforce Caucus.
Federal workers keep our country running, and we need to reinstate these critical jobs after Trump’s senseless cuts to the federal workforce.

The Trump administration gutted and politicized the federal workforce – targeting the public servants who keep our country running every day.
I’m proud to launch the Federal Workforce Caucus with @vanhollen.senate.gov & @hoyer.house.gov to rebuild and strengthen the workforce America depends on.

I joined @demwomencaucus.bsky.social to discuss the SAVE Act minutes before the GOP passed the bill through the House.
This bill does nothing to secure elections—it targets those who've changed names or plan to register to vote online. I was proud to vote against it, and the Senate must block it.

Today marks 117 years of the #NAACP, a leading voice in the pursuit of equality and justice for all Americans.
The NAACP has been at the forefront of the fight for civil rights and racial equity for generations, and their mission and efforts are more important now than ever.

I had the pleasure of meeting with the NC Rural Health Association to discuss how Congress can help expand the rural health workforce and access to mental health services in rural counties.
Rural areas are often left behind when discussing healthcare access—Congress needs to bridge those gaps.

I stood alongside the Congressional Black Caucus and leaders of the Divine Nine to emphasize the impact of Trump's policies on Black Americans.
This Administration is attacking Black entrepreneurship, civil rights, voting rights, social justice, and more. Black Americans deserve better.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons is lying to Congress. There have been hundreds of citizens detained by immigration agents.
Director Lyons is once again reminding us that ICE is not compatible with our democracy. This lawless agency must be dismantled immediately.

The SAVE Act is another step in the GOP’s efforts to stop fair and free elections in our country.

Trump’s deeply racist social media post is another reminder of his bigotry and the racism Black Americans face every single day.
We have to take steps to root out prejudice from our communities. That includes the President.

It was a pleasure to join Wake County Farm Bureau President John Burt for a conversation about the issues affecting local farmers.
Agriculture is one of NC's biggest industries, and Congress needs to take steps to support our farmers, who feed our communities and are the backbone of our economy.

While our communities are facing higher grocery, healthcare, and housing costs because this administration’s policies, Trump is now asking for a $1.5 trillion defense budget.
It’s completely out of touch and shows just how little regard this administration has for working families.

I voted against today’s funding package, which includes billions for ICE through the DHS.
Though a partial shutdown would put thousands of federal workers and some programs and benefits at risk, I will not support increasing funding for ICE as it continues to terrorize our communities.
