In 1968 while residing in Las Cruces, Foreman ran for Congress in the southern district of New Mexico<ref name=whoswho/> and upset the two-term Democrat E. S. Johnny Walker (1911-2000) of [[Albuquerque]]. [[Richard Nixon]] won New Mexico's electoral votes that year over [[Hubert Humphrey]], and that Republican momentum helped Foreman to get elected.
