The taxpayer watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste has named Congresswoman Virginia Foxx a “Taxpayer Hero” for her record of voting to protect taxpayers, cut spending and to oppose wasteful government expenditures. Foxx received a 98% score in the group’s ratings, which was the highest score in the North Carolina congressional delegation. Citizens Against Government Waste’s (CAGW) congressional rankings examine Representatives’ voting records to identify members of Congress who stand up for the taxpayers’ interests and also those who fail to deliver on promises of fiscal responsibility. “On behalf of taxpayers, we thank and applaud Congresswoman Foxx for her votes to cut wasteful spending, reduce taxes, and make government more accountable to taxpayers,” said CCAGW President Tom Schatz.
