I met with CORA Food Pantry to discuss their critical work in combatting food insecurity within our community. In #NC04, over 68,000 people rely on SNAP to put food on the table, and the GOP’s proposed cuts to these benefits will place an undue burden on local organizations working to fill in gaps.

Today’s Democratic Daily Download recaps our Medicaid Day of Action. House Democrats joined Senators and Governors across the country to stand up against the Trump-endorsed Republican Budget that cuts Medicaid by $880 Billion. To follow along: www.youtube.com/@HouseDemocrats

Welcome to the Democratic Daily Download. Every day, you will hear from @housedemocrats.bsky.social on how we’re fighting back against Trump and the GOP — as they rip off working families to give massive tax breaks to their billionaire donors. Today's update: our Day of Action to Save Medicaid.

My district is home to the largest EPA campus in the country and these proposed cuts could impact R&D employees here in NC. I'm working with my colleagues to pursue all legislative avenues to block these constitutionally dubious cuts to our workforce. (2/2) foushee.house.gov/media/press-...

Trump's plan to gut the EPA's Office of Research and Development will devastate our ability to address public health risks across the country. (1/2) www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/c...

Trump Administration Aims to Eliminate E.P.A.’s Scientific Research Arm

More than 1,000 chemists, biologists and other scientists could be laid off under a plan to dismantle the Office of Research and Development.

Great news! GE Aerospace is investing $16 million to upgrade its local manufacturing facility in Durham. I met with their team to discuss plans to expand their Durham plant, which will help create good-paying jobs in NC-04 and innovate the new parts needed for the future of flight.

The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil is a brazen attempt to silence those who disagree with the President & is an alarming attack on free speech & democratic rights. I joined over 100 House Democrats in demanding answers from the Trump Administration on his detention & attempted deportation.

This is heartless. Programs that help farmers sell food to local schools are a win-win: kids can have fresh food while farmers maintain a steady demand. Cutting these programs will place a $660M burden on schools across the country when many are already struggling. www.cbsnews.com/news/usda-ca...

USDA cancels $1 billion in funding for schools and food banks to buy food from local suppliers

The USDA said it is promoting wiser government spending, but schools say it will make it tougher to serve healthy meals.

Every person has the right to choose their health providers without interference. I’m proud to join 237 of my colleagues in filing a bicameral amicus brief to defend the rights of millions of Medicaid patients who depend on Planned Parenthood for essential health services and care.

The Republican CR gives a blank check to Donald Trump & Elon Musk. Cloture is our legislative leverage to get Republicans to work towards a bipartisan budget bill. Voting for cloture is a vote to pass the partisan GOP funding bill. Senate Democrats must stand up for the American people and vote no.

Happy Holi to all who celebrate in #NC04 and around the world! May the Festival of Colors bring joy, renewal, and hope for the coming year.

I’m heartbroken to hear of the passing of Congressman Raúl Grijalva. He was a true champion and fighter for working families in Arizona throughout his life and time in Congress. He will be missed, and my heart is with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

It was great meeting with the National League of Cities to discuss how Congress can further support housing, infrastructure, and safety initiatives. Thank you for your continued dedication to our communities, and I look forward to our continued collaboration in the weeks and months ahead.

Reps. Foushee, Miller Reintroduce The IMPACT Act 2.0 To Bolster Low-Emissions Concrete and Asphalt Production | U.S. Congresswoman Valerie Foushee

U.S.-led industrial innovation is paving the way to make meaningful emissions reductions and create good-paying jobs. I’m proud to reintroduce the IMPACT Act 2.0 with Congressman Max Miller to bolster low-emissions concrete and asphalt production and boost demand for these materials.

My district is home to the largest EPA campus which employs over 2,000 federal workers. Any cuts to the agency would leave these civil servants & critical environmental protection efforts in disarray. I led a letter with 100+ of my colleagues demanding an immediate reversal of these planned cuts.

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

House Democrats are united and stand ready to pass a four-week funding extension. I am willing to vote on a clean, short-term CR that doesn’t include harmful cuts, keeps the government open, and allows Congress to reach a bipartisan agreement.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMar 12(source)

It was wonderful meeting with the NC League of Municipalities to discuss local infrastructure funding and the need for further disaster relief for NC. Thank you for all that you do for our communities, and I look forward to continuing our work to address critical issues facing the Fourth District.
