Contact: 202-225-2071 Non-partisan National Journal ratings based on House votes National Journal, a non-partisan publication that covers Congress, has named Congresswoman Virginia Foxx one of the 20 most conservative members of Congress in its latest vote ratings. The ratings are based on about 200 key votes from 2009 that illustrate members of Congress’ political philosophy. “North Carolina families want someone who will fight for common sense conservative solutions and who isn’t afraid to stand up to the forces of big government,” Foxx said. “On this, my record is clear. As this rating demonstrates, I am committed to small government and individual liberty. While Washington is pushing for more big spending, I will continue to call for a smaller federal government and more freedom.” The National Journal’s ratings ranked Foxx as the 19th most conservative member of Congress. These ratings are based on Foxx’s votes in favor of ending the federal government’s bank bailouts, a balanced budget proposal and federal spending caps. In addition, Foxx’s top ranking is based on her opposition to policies such as House Democrats’ $1 trillion health care bill, $862 billion stimulus bill and the “cap and trade” carbon regulation bill.
