It was great to meet with Mayor Anderson & @chtransit.bsky.social officials to discuss the town’s North-South BRT project. As a member of @transportdems.bsky.social, I'm always proud to support local transit projects that will upgrade existing infrastructure & increase accessibility for riders.

The Republican budget cuts basic needs programs for women and families, including Medicaid and SNAP. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @demwomencaucus.bsky.social Chair @fernandez.house.gov shares what moms really want for Mother’s Day. (Hint: it's not tax breaks for billionaires.)

#NC04 is leading in developing quantum technologies thanks to R&D at our local universities, like Duke's Quantum Center. At the Science Committee hearing, I asked about how we can ensure quantum education at all levels, even K-12, to strengthen our growing quantum workforce. youtu.be/Ect9RRRr7bk

🗓️ NEXT WEEK 5/14: My office will be holding Mobile Office Hours at the Chatham County Historic Courthouse in Pittsboro, NC from 11AM-1PM. Come by to speak with a member of my constituent services team if you’re having issues with a federal agency – we’re here to help!

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 8(source)

#NC04 has seen major investments in manufacturing, life sciences, clean energy, & more which are creating good-paying jobs and are expanding our economic base. I shared more about the Fourth District’s development and efforts to sustain this growth at the bipartisan NC Economic Development Summit.

During National Nurses Week, we recognize all of the hardworking nurses in #NC04 and around the country. Thank you for your tireless dedication to your patients and commitment to providing lifesaving care for all.

The leader of FEMA was fired a day after defying Trump by saying that eliminating the agency would harm the American people. He spoke the truth and was fired for it. And now, Americans are even less safe, especially with hurricane season around the corner.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 8(source)

An estimated 6 million Americans have an unruptured brain aneurysm, but funding for research surrounding this condition has been inadequate. I was proud to meet with the Brain Aneurysm Foundation and the family of Ellie Helton as we work to pass Ellie's Law and bolster research & treatment efforts.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 8(source)

It was great meeting with ACLU NC Executive Director Chantal Stevens to discuss community safety and crime prevention initiatives. Although Republicans control Congress, I'm looking at every route possible to pass bipartisan legislation to make our communities safer.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 8(source)

Trump's freezing of Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds puts transit projects, like the Raleigh-Richmond S-Line, in jeopardy. Experts at the @transportdems.bsky.social hearing were clear: grant freezes will lead to project pauses and job losses. This funding must be reinstated. youtu.be/qmAreFXT9v4

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 7(source)

During Public Service Recognition, we honor all of the federal workers in #NC04 and beyond who keep our country running. Thank you all for your service, and I will keep fighting for your livelihoods in the face of attacks by the Trump Administration.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 7(source)

House Democrats are calling out the GOP. We signed a discharge petition to force a vote on the Hands off Medicaid and SNAP Act to protect SNAP and preserve Medicaid for 5.5 million Americans. Read the CBO's latest report for more on these extreme Medicaid cuts: www.cbo.gov/publication/61377

House Democrats@housedemocrats.bsky.socialMay 6(source)

Democrats know that basic needs programs like Medicaid and SNAP are lifelines for working families. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repjohnnyo.bsky.social breaks down how the Republican budget cuts these programs and hurts everyday Americans.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all the amazing educators in #NC04 and across the nation! You all are more than teachers: you are role models, mentors, and tireless advocates for the next generation.

HASC and SS&T Democrats are demanding answers from the Pentagon and NASA to questions about potential conflicts of interest regarding SpaceX contracts and CEO Elon Musk serving on DOGE and allegations of SpaceX covering up Chinese investments. Read it here ⬇️

Republicans say gun violence is purely a mental health issue, so why are they cutting school mental health programs? We need to fight gun violence from all angles, including vital mental health support programs— this funding must be restored immediately. apnews.com/article/scho...

Trump administration cuts $1 billion in school mental health grants, citing conflict of priorities

The Trump administration is moving to cancel $1 billion in school mental health grants, saying the award reflect the priorities of the previous administration.

May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! I’m proud to represent a vibrant #AANHPI community in North Carolina’s Fourth District—and as a member of @capac.house.gov, I’ll always fight to uplift their voices, history, and contributions to our country.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 5(source)

Trump has cancelled $20 million in NSF grants for North Carolina, with #NC04 facing among the most cuts of any district. These cuts will lead to job losses in my district and sets us behind in critical research efforts—I'm exploring all avenues to fight back. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Amid DOGE-induced turmoil, National Science Foundation is in crisis

The $9 billion agency, which exists solely to fund researchers, projects and facilities outside its Alexandria, Virginia, headquarters, is hitting pause on its mission.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 2(source)

Trump's lack of direction for the DOE Loan Program Office threatens our ability to meet our communities' current and future energy production demands. At this week's Science Committee hearing, I asked experts about the importance of using this office to support domestic R&D. youtu.be/-HM7vQWlbME
