Political views
Foxx's voting record is strongly conservative. Thoroughly pro-life, she has received a 100% rating from the NRLC and an A rating from the Susan B. Anthony List.[6] An ardent opponent of illegal immigration, Foxx has received a 100% rating from the USBC.
Foxx supported Donald Trump since May 2016, then acknowledging the importance of accepting him being the Republican nominee for the 2016 U.S. presidential election, saying: “not to support the nominee is to deny that the people have a choice in this, and the people, it appears, have chosen Mr. Trump.”[7]
