It was great meeting with the Agriculture Labor Coalition to hear more about the priorities of local farmers and agribusiness groups. Agriculture remains a foundational part of our country and Congress needs to take further steps to support the industry.

It was great meeting with the Chatham County Commissioners in Washington this week! Delivering for Chatham has been a priority of mine since serving in the State Senate, and I look forward to continuing our work together to secure federal funding to the area.

I'm introducing the Ensuring OBGYN Care in Prison Act with Rep. Ansari and Rep. Kamlager-Dove to ensure that prisons employ at least one full-time, on-site Obstetrician Gynecologist. (2/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govFeb 26(source)

The reports of pregnant women being denied urgent medical attention in correctional facilities is a profound failure of oversight and accountability within our system. (1/2)

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

The American people deserve better, and @housedemocrats.bsky.social will continue to use every tool available to stop the GOP's extreme policies that make life worse for the American people.

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

As we get ready to hear Trump’s State of the Union address, let’s be very clear about the REAL state of the union. Costs are up, healthcare benefits are being slashed, and ICE continues to receive funding while terrorizing our communities.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govFeb 24(source)

Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster. Costs are rising, rights are under attack, and this Administration continues to prioritize division over unity. I will be boycotting Trump’s address to Congress tonight—I have no interest in giving him an audience to spew his lies.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govFeb 23(source)

It was great to join Duke University's SPACE Initiative to discuss the importance of bolstering STEM education and innovation. As the Ranking Member of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee, I am grateful to see local universities supporting these initiatives in the face of Trump's funding cuts.

I will not be attending Trump’s State of the Union Address tomorrow. I do not need to listen to Trump to know the real state of this country. We are living in a nation led by a government focused on deepening inequalities and destroying democracy over delivering for hardworking Americans.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govFeb 23(source)

It was great to join the Town of Carrboro's legislative breakfast to discuss ways our local and federal government can work together to deliver results. Having represented Carrboro at the local, state, and federal level, I look forward to our continued collaboration to deliver for local residents.

Rev. Jackson’s impact on the fight for human and civil rights has forever shaped our nation. There have been others who’ve had the privilege to lie in honor in the Capitol despite having not held federal office, and Jesse Jackson deserves no less. (2/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govFeb 23(source)

I am deeply disappointed to hear that Speaker Johnson denied a request for Rev. Jackson to lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol. (1/2) www.cnn.com/2026/02/20/p...

I led 24 Democrats in demanding that 'AI & Crypo Czar' David Sacks and Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios provide the names of those serving on the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and reverse course on proposed cuts to federal science agencies. (2/2)

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

Our nation's STEM workforce pipelines are being put at risk by this Administration, and Trump won't reveal who is advising him on these cuts to STEM research funding. (1/2)

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

Trump's own conservative Supreme Court ruled against his illegal tariffs. This confirms what @housedemocrats.bsky.social have said since the beginning of this administration: these tariffs are illegal and hurt our communities. www.npr.org/2026/02/20/n...

Supreme Court strikes down Trump's tariffs

The 6-3 ruling is a major blow to the president's signature economic policy.
