Foxx to seek re-election for 5th District seat
by Staff
Rep. Virginia Foxx on Thursday announced that she will run for re-election for North Carolina's 5th Congressional District. Mrs. Foxx has represented the 5th District in Congress since 2005.
"Representing the people of the 5th District in Congress is a great honor," Mrs. Foxx said. "During this era of record deficits I promise to continue to hold Washington accountable and rein in its reckless spending and wasting of taxpayers' hard-earned money."
Mrs. Foxx added, "I am a strong proponent of keeping taxes low and ensuring that the government lives within its means. Last year, I opposed the bank bailouts, the auto bailouts and other massive spending programs like the trillion dollar stimulus package.
"Washington needs a strong dose of North Carolina common sense," she said. "I will stand up to the big-spending ways of Washington and who will offer solutions that solve problems without growing government and creating debt. As a small-government conservative, I have a proven track record of fighting to preserve freedom and keep big government at bay."
During her third term Mrs. Foxx shepherded a bill through Congress to improve on-base housing for soldiers in the Army. Her bill to stop the 2008 bank bailout also passed the House last January. |
