Meet Virginia Foxx

Virginia Foxx is a dangerous but vulnerable incumbent with a new district in a swing-state. She has never faced a serious challenger or a district as competitive as this one.

Throughout Virginia Foxx’s political career she has continued to spark controversy and promote corruption.

She is known as a ruthless lawmaker who has worked to dismantle public education and workforce protections as Chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor. She has spent her time in Congress seeking to enrich herself and her cronies, promote a dangerous agenda of hate, and recently made headlines when she screamed at a member of the press to shut up for asking questions about the Republican agenda.
