Great to visit Quadridox in Hillsborough to learn how they’re advancing X-ray imaging to boost airport security & efficiency and reduce hospital costs & patient wait times. Originally funded as spinout from Duke, Quadridox shows the transformative impact universities can have across communities.

Navigating federal agencies for passport renewals, work authorizations, VA benefits, and more can be difficult—but my casework team is here to help! If you need assistance with federal agencies, don’t hesitate to reach out to my Durham District Office at 919-967-7924.

On Memorial Day, we honor the heroic servicemembers who lost their lives protecting our country. Everyday we work to honor them, their families, and their loved ones by upholding the democratic values that they worked tirelessly to defend and preserve.

5 years ago today, George Floyd was senselessly murdered by law enforcement officials. He should still be alive today. Congress has gone too long without action, and we must honor his memory with tangible reforms to our criminal justice system and improve public safety.

I’m proud to share that my office has helped return over $3 million to residents of #NC04 through casework! As always, if you’re having issues with a federal agency, don’t hesitate to give my office a call at 919-967-7924.

This week, I had the opportunity to discuss how Democrats are fighting back against the GOP’s Medicaid cuts with @domesticworkers.bsky.social. With House Republicans voting for record Medicaid cuts early this morning, finding avenues to defend this critical program is more important than ever.

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

I am horrified by the killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers outside of the Capitol Jewish Museum last night. My heart is with the victims and their loved ones. Antisemitism has no place in our society, and we must unite against all forms of hate and bigotry.

BREAKING: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office said he is “shocked” by the “horrific, antisemitic” shooting of two staff members of the Israeli embassy in Washington. Netanyahu said he had instructed Israeli missions around the world to beef up security.

ICYMI: Republicans held a vote late into the night to cut Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, food assistance, school meal programs, and more. Somehow, they're still ADDING to our debt because their billionaire tax breaks are so extreme. It's a rip-off. My full statement:

House Republicans tried to jam through the GOP Tax Scam in the dark of night – but House Democrats are fighting back to expose and stop this disastrous bill. @scanlon.house.gov explains why Americans can’t afford these devastating cuts to health care and food assistance.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 21(source)

Republicans still won't reveal the final text for the tax scam that they plan on voting on today. They're hiding from the American people. The GOP needs to answer for their plans to make record cuts to social services, including stopping free lunches for over 400,000 kids in need in North Carolina.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 21(source)

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Congressman Gerry Connolly. Congressman Connolly was a true champion and advocate for the people of Northern Virginia. My thoughts are with his family, staff, and loved ones during this difficult time.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 20(source)

The GOP's tax scam will strip health care from 14 million Americans, add to our national debt, and take food out of the mouths of millions of children, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities. We just need 4 House Republicans to join us in stopping this madness. youtu.be/86WSayPuh9w

Don't miss the scariest committee hearing of the year.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 20(source)

Rep. McIver was upholding her oath of office by conducting lawful oversight of the Delaney Hall detention center. The charges against her are a blatant attempt to intimidate and interfere with Congress’ ability to check and balance the Executive Branch. We stand with you @replamonica.bsky.social.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 20(source)

Attacks on grant programs and government funding hurt our ability to deliver proper transit infrastructure improvements. I'm proud to cosponsor @hankjohnson.house.gov's Stronger Communities Through Better Transit Act to help people in every community get where they need to go.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 20(source)

The GOP scheduled another late-night vote in the Rules Committee to advance cuts to Medicaid, food assistance programs, and more. @repmcgovern.bsky.social and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are right. If the people support this bill, then have your meeting in front of the cameras in the light of day.

My statement on the passing of former Hillsborough Mayor Horace Johnson:

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 19(source)

The GOP held a late-night committee vote yesterday so they could strong-arm holdouts and advance their budget bill in the dead of night. Hiding from the public is something you'd do if you weren't cutting benefits, right? spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/triad/new...

I am saddened to hear of President Biden's cancer diagnosis. My thoughts are with the Biden family and their loved ones during this difficult time, and I'm praying for his full and speedy recovery.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 18(source)

#OTD in 1965, President Johnson signed legislation to create Head Start which works tirelessly to uplift kids nationwide. As a former volunteer, I know the transformative impact this program can have, and I will keep fighting to ensure it receives the proper funding it deserves.
