Congresswoman Valerie Foushee, representing North Carolina's 4th District, shared her views on various issues through a series of tweets on January 21, 2025. Her statements addressed topics ranging from political actions to community events.

On January 21, 2025, Congresswoman Foushee commented on the executive actions taken by former President Trump during his first day in office. She expressed concern over these actions, stating: "Trump's first day in office included signing hundreds of executive actions to roll back climate agreements, civil rights, health care access, and more. It's a shame that our President continues to prioritize division over lowering the cost of living for hardworking Americans."

Later that day, she reflected on the anniversary of a tragic event: "Today marks 2 years since the horrific mass shooting in Monterey Park, CA which claimed the lives of 11 community members. We must honor their memories with action. As a member of @HouseGVP, I’ll continue fighting to pass commonsense bills that will keep our communities safe." This tweet underscores her commitment to advocating for gun violence prevention measures.

In another tweet posted on January 21, Foushee shared her experience commemorating Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy: "There was no better way to spend MLK weekend than being out in the community! It was a pleasure to spend the weekend attending commemorative events across the Fourth District to honor Dr. King and reflect on his life, teachings, and lasting legacy." Her participation in these events highlights her dedication to community engagement and honoring historical figures.
