Congresswoman Valerie Foushee, representing North Carolina’s 4th district, has been vocal on social media about key issues such as civil rights, education funding, and government spending. Her recent tweets reflect her commitment to these topics.

On March 21, 2025, Foushee commemorated the historic Selma to Montgomery march in a tweet: “Sixty years ago, following Bloody Sunday, thousands of heroic civil rights activists began their march from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. Their bravery led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and we honor their legacy by continuing to fight against voter”.

Later that day, she highlighted her visit to Randy’s Five Star Academy with a focus on early childhood education programs: “It was great visiting Randy’s Five Star Academy to discuss the importance of Head Start and childcare programs. The Trump Administration is stripping funding from centers like these that provide support to local working families and a safe space for children to learn and grow.”

In another post on March 21st, Foushee criticized federal budget cuts under former President Trump: “Our government spending needs to be more efficient, but Trump’s reckless cuts are an attempt to flood the zone to create instability and destroy social services. I joined @NCNewsline to discuss the GOP’s alarming cuts to Medicaid, USAID, Department of Education, the VA and more.”
