What they stand for
Foxx has spent years focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Opposes federal abortion funding in foreign assistanceFoxx has repeatedly sponsored the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act (HR.343) and the Protecting Life in Foreign Assistance Act (HR.1465), both reintroduced across multiple Congresses. HR.343 would bar entities that perform abortions from receiving Title X family planning funds. HR.1465 would restrict abortion-related activities in U.S. foreign assistance programs.
- 02Favors labor union financial disclosure requirementsFoxx sponsored the Union Members Right to Know Act (HR.6139), which would require additional financial disclosures to union members. The bill was referred to committee. It has been reintroduced across Congresses, indicating a sustained focus on union transparency obligations.
- 03Favors stricter federal grant oversight and border securityFoxx sponsored the Grant Integrity and Border Security Act (HR.245), a bill reintroduced across multiple Congresses that would impose conditions on federal grant recipients related to border security compliance. The bill was referred to committee.
- 04Voted against Social Security benefit expansion legislationFoxx voted against final passage of the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023 (HR.82), which eliminated the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset, thereby expanding Social Security benefits for certain public-sector workers. The bill passed and became law. Her vote was against the majority of her party.
- 05Promotes parental rights in education and family policyFoxx has sponsored the Families' Rights and Responsibilities Act (HR.650), reintroduced across multiple Congresses, which addresses parental rights in the context of federal education and family policy. The bill was referred to committee. Her long tenure as chair and ranking member of the House Committee on Education and Labor reflects sustained engagement with these policy areas.

She previously chaired the House Committee on Education and Labor from 2017 to 2019 and again from 2023 to 2025, and served as its ranking member from 2019 to 2023. She also held the position of Secretary of the House Republican Conference from 2013 to 2016. Since January 2025, Foxx has been the dean of North Carolina's congressional delegation. Her legislative record includes votes against final passage of several bills that became law with broad House support, including the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023 (HR.82), the Emergency Medical Services for Children Reauthorization Act of 2024 (HR.6960), the Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act of 2024 (HR.4581), and the Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2023 (HR.5863).
