Virginia Foxx, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing North Carolina’s 5th district, recently shared her thoughts on various issues through social media posts. Foxx, who has been in office since 2005 after succeeding Richard Burr, is known for her candid expressions and dedication to her constituents.

On May 8, 2025, Virginia Foxx responded to an unspecified query or comment by stating “No. Too busy fighting for the right things for the right reasons.” This tweet underscores her commitment to advocating for causes she believes are just and necessary.

Later that day, Foxx addressed concerns about campus safety and ideological conflicts by commenting “Neat. Nobody likes Hamas sympathizers overtaking university campuses and threatening Jewish students, faculty, and staff.” This post reflects her stance on maintaining security and inclusivity within educational institutions.

In another post on the same day, Foxx expressed a patriotic sentiment with a simple statement: “The Gulf of America Has a beautiful ring to it.” The remark suggests an appreciation for national identity or possibly references geographical or political topics related to American territories.

Virginia Foxx was born in New York City in 1943 and currently resides in Banner Elk. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
