Congresswoman Valerie Foushee, representing North Carolina’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress, has been vocal about key legislative issues on March 13, 2025. Her recent statements highlight her stance on government funding, environmental protection, and industrial innovation.

On March 13, 2025, Foushee expressed support for a temporary funding measure by stating that "House Democrats are united and stand ready to pass a four-week funding extension." She emphasized her willingness to vote for a clean continuing resolution (CR) that avoids harmful cuts and keeps the government operational while facilitating bipartisan negotiations.

Later the same day, Foushee highlighted concerns regarding potential budget cuts affecting the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In her tweet at 18:39:28 UTC, she noted that "My district is home to the largest EPA campus in the country, which employs over 2,000 federal workers." She led an initiative with over 100 colleagues to oppose such cuts due to their potential impact on civil servants and environmental efforts.

In another post at 19:44:36 UTC on March 13, Foushee addressed industrial innovation by reintroducing legislation aimed at reducing emissions. She stated that "U.S.-led industrial innovation is paving the way to make meaningful emissions reductions and create good-paying jobs." The IMPACT Act 2.0 aims to enhance low-emissions concrete and asphalt production while increasing demand for these materials.
