Kade Milloy Now Considering Careers in Politics After Spending a Week in Washington, D.C.

Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) welcomed Davie County High School rising Junior Kade Milloy to the United States Capitol. Kade, who was in Washington for a National Young Leaders Conference, shadowed Congresswoman Foxx during an official House Rules Committee meeting and toured the Capitol grounds with the Congresswoman as her guide.

“Kade has the makings of a great leader,” Congresswoman Foxx stated. “Her talent and drive were immediately apparent as was her curiosity about the work that goes on in Congress. I was more than happy to give Kade a behind-the-scenes look at her government and the many ways young people can engage in the legislative process.”

“My favorite part of my trip to Capitol Hill last week was the unique experience I encountered when Dr. Foxx allowed me to sit in on her Rules Committee meeting,” Kade said. “I found it really interesting that I was able to see firsthand what happens when a bill is being debated, and it inspired me to become more versed in the issues that our nation is facing."

“I feel that my time spent with [Dr. Foxx] was invaluable,” Kade continued. “I am so blessed to have seen firsthand what goes on in our nation’s capitol and how our representatives work together to get things done.”

Kade, who is interested in studying psychology in the future, noted that after her trip to Washington and her visit to Capitol Hill, she has begun to consider careers in the political field.
