It was great meeting with the NC Coalition Against Domestic Violence and NCCASA to discuss the importance of funding rape crisis centers & DV service providers. NC has reached record rates of domestic violence & Congress must support these efforts to eliminate sexual assault from our communities.

Republican cuts to Medicaid could shutter rural hospitals and take healthcare from more than 600,000 North Carolinians. I joined @foushee.house.gov, @adams.house.gov, and Rep. Don Davis in calling on Senate Leader Thune to remove Medicaid cuts from the budget bill.

The GOP's FY26 MilCon VA funding bill will shortchange American heroes to fund kickbacks for Trump's billionaire buddies. Privatizing VA care and underfunding military infrastructure to funnel billions to corporate hospitals doesn’t support our veterans—it breaks our promise to those who served.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 25(source)

As I've said, the Republican's Big Billionaire Bill will put the health care coverage of over a half-million North Carolinians at risk. Don't just take it from me ⤵️

I reintroduced my resolution designating June as Brain and Spine Metastasis Awareness Month. Metastatic cancer remains the leading cause of mortality in patients with cancer, and Congress needs to improve access to lifesaving care. Read More: foushee.house.gov/posts/rep-fo...

Three years ago, Roe v. Wade was overturned, stripping away reproductive rights & leaving millions without access to fundamental health care. Today, I’m proud to join House Democrats in reintroducing the Women's Health Protection Act to ensure everyone has access to the reproductive care they need.

Trump's illegal strikes in Iran drag us closer to yet another endless war in the Middle East that will put innocent lives at risk. I’m cosponsoring Rep. Massie and @khanna.house.gov's War Powers Resolution to prohibit unauthorized attacks and reassert that only Congress can order military action.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 22(source)

Trump’s illegal strikes puts our troops in danger and risks implicating our nation in a potentially disastrous war. An urgent de-escalation is needed to save lives. Read my full statement:

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, a celebration of freedom and independence, and a time to reflect on our nation's history. We've come a long way, but the fight for justice is far from over. Together, we must continue working towards a more inclusive and equitable future for all.

Everyone deserves the chance to live a healthy life. Medicaid helps do just that by providing health care assistance to seniors, kids, and people with disabilities across the country. Make no mistake: Republicans in Congress are working to destroy this critical program. thehill.com/policy/healt...

At the House Science Committee hearing, I elaborated on concerns about how AI's arrival affects water and land resources, and the need for sustainable growth. (2/2) youtu.be/KRFddatKZdc

Last Congress, I served on the AI Task Force, whose report included a chapter on environmental impacts. Still, Congress has taken no action. (1/2)

Congratulations to all the high school seniors across #NC04 who graduated over the weekend! The future ahead is full of possibilities, and I wish you all success and prosperity as you move on to your next adventure.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 16(source)

I am heartbroken by the shooting of Minnesota lawmakers Melissa Hortman, John Hoffman, and their spouses in an unthinkable act of political violence. These attacks have no place in our country. I am grateful for law enforcement's quick response, and my heart is with the victim's loved ones.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 15(source)

Happy Father's Day to all of the incredible fathers and father-figures of North Carolina's Fourth District—including my wonderful husband, Stan, and my two sons, Stanley and Terrence! Thank you for all that you do, and I wish you all an amazing day with your loved ones.

It was great meeting with Legal Aid of NC to discuss their critical work across our state, including the support they provide for communities during disaster recovery. The GOP’s efforts to cut legal aid funding threaten justice for underserved communities—Congress must protect these vital services.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 13(source)

I had the pleasure of speaking at the Global Blockchain Business Council’s DC conference about the importance of responsible AI. As Republicans try to pass a 10-year moratorium on state-level AI regulations, I’m fighting for guardrails to protect our communities & ensure equitable and secure usage.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 13(source)

Congratulations to #NC04 Congressional Award Gold Medalists Fletcher Yost & Angela Li from East Chapel Hill HS! This achievement is the highest honor given by Congress to young people, & I'm proud to see the next generation of our local leaders recognized for their community engagement and service.

Today marks 9 years since 49 lives were taken in a mass shooting at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Alongside the @equality.house.gov, I am dedicated to honoring the victims of the Pulse shooting by advancing pro-equality legislation so all people can live free from violence.
