Verified Pending Review Voted nay_unverified on H.R. 9494 (Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, 2025 (CR with SAVE Act voter ID requirement)) on 2024-09-18: Foushee voted against the GOP government funding bill that included the SAVE Act's proof-of-citizenship voter registration requirement. Her vote align‌‍‌​‌‌‌‍​​‌​‍‌​​‍‍‌​‌‍‌‍ed with her stated commitment to protecting voting rights while her district's 11.6% Hispanic and 19.2% Black populations would be disproportionately affected by restrictive voter ID laws. She crossed potential pressure from moderate Democratic colleagues seeking to avoid a government shutdown.

She cited the bill's ban on gender-identity data collection, restrictions on transgender service members, and $1 trillion in total military spending when combined with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This defection was notable given her district's economic ties to Fort Liberty and military families.
Date: 2025-12-10 Added: 28 Apr 2026

Her nay vote defied AIPAC's lobbying priority—AIPAC, her top career donor, had given her $10,680 in the 2023-2024 cycle alone and over $800,000 directly over her career. The vote placed her with the progressive wing of the party.
