“Life is the most fundamental of all human rights. Faith and freedom are our country’s very foundation. And the family remains the bulwark of American society,” Congresswoman Foxx stated. The “True Blue” Award is a thoughtful reminder of the importance of strengthening life, faith, and family for which I am humbled and thankful.”

Family Research Council Action President Tony Perkins made the following comments:

“We thank Congresswoman Virginia Foxx who has voted consistently to defend faith, family and freedom. Virginia and other ‘True Blue Members’ have voted to repeal Obamacare, protect the unborn, and stand for religious liberty. I applaud their commitment to defend family and faith.”
