During National Health Center Week, I visited Piedmont Health Services which has long been at the forefront of ensuring quality care across our region. While the GOP attacks on healthcare put a strain on our community, I'm looking for all avenues to support these vital health centers and staff.

Thank you to everyone who came out to my Town Hall in Orange County! It was great to hear from you all and discuss the critical issues facing our country and our region. In Washington, I'll continue to fight for our community and advance the priorities of the Fourth District.

I'm hosting a Federal Employee Resource and Listening Session on Saturday, August 9! Come share your concerns about the attacks on our federal workforce and learn more about resources available to you through state and local organizations. RSVP at NC04FedEmployeeListeningSession.eventbrite.com.

60 years ago, the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965 was signed into law, banning racially discriminatory practices in voting. Today, our fight for voting rights continues, and I will keep fighting alongside @housedemocrats.bsky.social to safeguard every American's access to the ballot box.

We simply cannot continue to provide the Israeli government with weapons when they are not being used in accordance with international law to maximize the protection of civilians in Gaza. (3/3)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govAug 6(source)

A ceasefire and de-escalation are urgently needed to ensure the sufficient flow of aid into Gaza and protect innocent civilians at aid delivery sites from military attacks. (2/3)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govAug 6(source)

Yesterday, I cosponsored the Block the Bombs Act to prevent the sale of offensive weapons to Israel. (1/3)

I’m proud to support NC Attorney General Jeff Jackson’s efforts to restore this funding, and I will continue to explore all available avenues in Congress to support recovery efforts across #NC04.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govAug 6(source)

As recovery efforts continue, the lack of FEMA Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program funding available to rebuild critical infrastructure is hurting our ability to keep North Carolinians safe.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govAug 6(source)

I had the opportunity to survey the damage caused by Tropical Storm Chantal in Orange County, including at Hillsborough’s Water Treatment Plant, alongside @ocncgov.bsky.social and @ocncsolidwaste.bsky.social.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govAug 5(source)

I joined @foushee.house.gov in urging EPA Administrator Zeldin to reverse the closure of the Office of Research and Development. This office protects our air, water, and health. Cutting it would hurt communities across North Carolina and the country.

Congresswoman Andrea Salinas@salinas.house.govAug 4(source)

I joined @foushee.house.gov on a tour of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, where we received an update on the development of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. (1/3)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govAug 4(source)

@ross.house.gov and I wrote to him to urge an immediate reversal of the disastrous decision to shutter ORD. (2/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govAug 4(source)

Despite Senate passage of FY26 funding bills that protect the Office of Research and Development, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is still trying to cut this office, headquartered in the Research Triangle, that helps maintain clean air and water. (1/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govAug 1(source)

As I return to NC, it's clear to me that NASA is critical to our leadership in exploration, scientific research, and commercial space while creating good-paying jobs here at home. Ensuring proper NASA funding cannot be a question—it’s necessary to maintain preeminence in space. (6/6)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govAug 1(source)

My visit was filled with updates & first-hand looks at the progress being made on space launch efforts, including stacking of the Space Launch System for the upcoming Artemis II mission, NASA-SpaceX Crew-11 launch, & Blue Origin’s New Glenn launch vehicle to deliver NASA and non-NASA payloads. (5/6)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govAug 1(source)

The safety of our astronauts is paramount, and although yesterday’s attempt was scrubbed due to weather, I was glad to see today’s launch was successful. (4/6) mynews13.com/fl/orlando/s...

Smashing through uncertain weather, NASA and SpaceX launch Crew-11

The four-member Crew-11 mission will spend months on the International Space Station conducting experiments.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govAug 1(source)

I also had the chance to attend the July 31st SpaceX Crew-11 launch attempt to the ISS. These NASA astronauts including UNC alumna Zena Cardman, commander of the mission, will carry out research experiments made possible by NASA’s Commercial Crew and International Space Station Programs. (3/6)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govAug 1(source)

It was great to hear from NASA's Exploration Ground Systems team and see the NASA SLS rocket at the Vehicle Assembly Building. With Artemis II set to launch in 2026, we must ensure NASA can complete the historic effort to send humans around the moon for the first time since the Apollo program. (2/6)
