Virginia Foxx, a U.S. Congress member representing North Carolina’s 5th district since 2005, has expressed her views on several pressing issues through social media. Born in New York City and currently residing in Banner Elk, Foxx is known for her active engagement in political discourse.

On December 2, 2024, Virginia Foxx tweeted about the importance of leadership in the context of releasing hostages. She stated, “THIS is leadership. Release the hostages. Bring them home.”

They have failed us.” She emphasized the urgency of the situation as colder weather approaches.
