About Me
Congresswoman Virginia Foxx has represented North Carolina's Fifth Congressional District since January 2005. She is quickly emerging as a vocal leader on the issues of fiscal responsibility, government accountability, family values and immigration reform. She was ranked the most conservative Member of North Carolina's Congressional Delegation by National Journal and has been called one of the "best and brightest" Members of Congress by the American Conservative Union.
Virginia serves on three House committees: Agriculture, Education and the Workforce and Government Reform. She was the first member of her freshman class to introduce and pass a major bill. Her bill, which helps our men and women in uniform, was signed by President Bush on Memorial Day 2006.
Before her election to Congress, Virginia served ten years in the North Carolina Senate. Prior to that, she served as Deputy Secretary for Management under Governor Jim Martin and spent twelve years on the Watauga County Board of Education.
