Congresswoman Valerie Foushee, representing North Carolina’s 4th district, has been vocal on several pressing issues through her recent tweets. Her statements address concerns about the closure of USAID, security breaches in Treasury payment systems, and a tribute to a fallen officer.

On February 7, 2025, Congresswoman Foushee expressed her concern over the “unconstitutional shuttering of USAID,” emphasizing its potential negative impact on global humanitarian aid and public health. She stated that she joined “@HouseDemocrats in relaying concerns to @SecRubio about the legality and long-term effects of ending USAID.”

Later that day, Foushee addressed another issue involving Elon Musk. She highlighted that his “infiltration of Treasury payment systems means access to Social Security numbers, tax refunds and sensitive data.” In response, she announced her support for the Taxpayer Data Protection Act alongside House Democrats to safeguard taxpayer information from unauthorized access by billionaires. The original tweet can be found here.

On February 10, 2025, Foushee took to Twitter to honor Captain Rebecca Lobach’s memory. Captain Lobach tragically lost her life in a Black Hawk helicopter accident at Reagan Airport. Foushee described Captain Lobach as “a highly-distinguished and dedicated officer with a bright future.” More details are available in her tweet here.
