Foxx Honored with 2012 ACU Conservative Award
Congresswoman Virginia Foxx released the following statement after receiving the American Conservative Union's 2012 Award for the 112th Congress: "It is an honor to represent the people of North Carolina’s 5th District in the United States House of Representative and to serve as their voice in support of liberty,” Congresswoman Virginia Foxx stated. “The votes I cast on behalf of my constituents are each intended to further the principles of economic freedom, defend faith and family, and pave the way to a more prosperous future for every American citizen. Those are values the ACU holds dear as well, and I am deeply appreciative of their recognition.” “ACU is delighted to once again give our ratings award to Virginia Foxx for the year 2012,” said Al Cardenas, Chairman of the American Conservative Union. “ Representative Foxx’s lifetime ACU rating of “97” over 8 years of service reflects a consistent commitment to conservative principles over a wide range of issues and is one of the highest of any member of congress over that length of time.” The American Conservative Union examined 25 House votes in 2012 on issues ranging from health care to energy and missile defense to federal spending and environmental legislation.
