Congresswoman Valerie Foushee

Proudly representing North Carolina's 4th Congressional District.
On this day in 1865, the 13th amendment was ratified, formally ending slavery in the United States.
Today, we remember this first step in the long fight for equality, and we must continue to reject every attempt to erase this shameful chapter of American history.

70 years ago today, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began, a powerful and peaceful protest which was a foundational event for the civil rights movement.
We honor this historic moment by continuing the fight for true justice for all, today and every day.

It was a pleasure to see so many students in #NC04 participating in this year's Congressional App Challenge!

During my remarks as Ranking Member of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee, I compared China's growing space science plans to Trump's continued attempts to cut NASA funding.
For all the administration's talk of maintaining leadership in space, this clearly isn't a winning strategy.

Rising healthcare costs are hurting working families in North Carolina.
Our state deserves better.
I will never stop fighting to protect the ACA, expand Medicare and Medicaid coverage, and ensure that every American has access to the quality, affordable healthcare they need.

Republicans in DC are headed towards another shutdown while Republicans in North Carolina are focused on silencing American history, past and present.
The NC GOP should focus on finally passing a state budget instead of this harmful fearmongering and attempts to whitewash our school curriculums.

I had the pleasure of meeting with IBEW Local 553 to discuss how Congress can better prevent wage suppression and protect benefits for union electricians.
I'm always proud to work alongside unions to ensure they have the benefits and bargaining rights they deserve.

Delivery routes in #NC04 are operating with reduced fleets because USPS vehicles are going unrepaired for months, causing delays & putting the safety of carriers at risk.
I’m demanding information from USPS on how they plan to address the urgent safety concerns and the mounting backlog of repairs.

I am outraged by the continued and expanding deployment of U.S. Border Patrol and ICE agents in North Carolina. This is not law enforcement—it is state-sanctioned intimidation of our communities, and it cannot be tolerated.

A Continuing Resolution that allows people to lose their healthcare isn't a 'clean bill'.
I voted against the GOP's budget bill that doesn't address rising healthcare costs and puts the healthcare of hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians at risk.

No one in America should see their healthcare costs rise by $25,000, but that's what families are facing here in North Carolina.
Still, House Republicans won't come to work to find a long-term solution to their health care crisis.
