To ensure a cleaner and healthier environment for future generations, we must strengthen current environmental protection laws and continue to fund key agencies like the National Park Service.

This is the clearest official articulation of the claim, but it is a standing issue-page statement rather than evidence of legislative delivery or completed action during the lookback window.

...in a 26-2 bipartisan vote, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a Fiscal Year 2026 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies appropriations bill that would require EPA to maintain ORD.

Shows Foushee backing an appropriations effort that would preserve EPA scientific capacity, a concrete attempt aligned with the claim, though it is about EPA rather than the National Park Service and predates the lookback window.

House Science, Space, and Technology Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee Ranking Member Valerie Foushee (D-NC) and Environment Subcommittee Ranking Member Gabe Amo (D-RI) led a group of 116 Members of Congress in denouncing the Trump Administration’s decision to close the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Research and Development (ORD), which provided the scientific foundations for fighting climate change and holding polluters accountable.

This is a serious, concrete opposition action to protect environmental protection capacity, indicating ongoing effort, but it does not show a completed legislative outcome in the lookback window.

Congresswomen Valerie Foushee ... slammed the Trump administration’s plan to cut as many as 1,155 scientists from the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Research and Development (ORD).

Earlier evidence of Foushee actively opposing a weakening of environmental protection institutions; relevant as background effort, but outside the 30-day lookback window and not a final delivered outcome.

H.R.6938 - 119th Congress (2025-2026): Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026.

Confirms enactment of the FY2026 appropriations package covering Interior/Environment. This is relevant to funding agencies such as the National Park Service, but it is outside the lookback window and does not by itself prove Foushee-specific delivery on the campaign claim.
