I am fighting to move the federal government toward a balanced budget. We must continue to cut wasteful federal spending and redirect limited funds to federal priorities such as national defense and protecting programs Americans rely on such as Social Security and Medicare.
Fight to move the federal government toward a balanced budget and cut wasteful federal spending.
Occurrences
Get rid of the waste. Stop the foolishness.
Virginia Foxx is working to protect our tax dollars in Congress. She's against tax increases and against big spending programs.
Evidence
Roll Call 143, on agreeing to S. Con. Res. 33, was a vote on 'Setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.' Virginia Foxx voted Yea.
Foxx said her focus is on 'the most effective, efficient, responsive government possible,' said Republicans are working to 'expose and stop the fraud and the waste of your tax dollars,' and described oversight bills, including H.R. 8340, as protecting taxpayer funds and combatting 'runaway fraud' and improper payments.
Assessments
Foxx has taken same-term actions consistent with the pledge, including voting for the FY2026 budget resolution and publicly advancing oversight and anti-fraud measures aimed at wasteful spending. However, the evidence does not show that the federal government has actually moved to a balanced budget or that wasteful federal spending has been cut in a completed, measurable way attributable to her. Because the promise is ongoing and framed as a fight, the record supports effort but not completed delivery yet.
