Congresswoman Virginia Foxx has represented North Carolina's Fifth Congressional District since January 2005. She is quickly emerging as a vocal leader on the issues of fiscal responsibility, government accountability, family values and immigration reform. She was ranked the most conservative Member of North Carolina's Congressional Delegation by National Journal and has been called one of the "best and brightest" Members of Congress by the American Conservative Union.
Virginia serves on three House committees: Agriculture, Education and the Workforce and Government Reform. She was the first member of her freshman class to introduce and pass a major bill. Her bill, which helps our men and women in uniform, was signed by President Bush on Memorial Day 2006.
Before her election to Congress, Virginia served ten years in the North Carolina Senate. Prior to that, she served as Deputy Secretary for Management under Governor Jim Martin and spent twelve years on the Watauga County Board of Education.
Virginia spent the majority of her career educating youth from Northwest North Carolina. She has served as an instructor at Caldwell Community College and as a professor and administrator at Appalachian State University. She also served as the President of Mayland Community College in Spruce Pine.
Virginia grew up in rural Avery County, just miles away from where she and her husband reside today. She was the first member of her family to ever graduate from high school. She went on to graduate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she received a bachelor's degree in English and a master's degree in college teaching. She then received her Doctorate in Education from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
Virginia and her husband, Tom, have been married for over 40 years. Together, they established a nursery and landscaping business in Watauga County, which is now being operated by their daughter and son-in-law. The Foxxes enjoy gardening, attending church and spending high quality time with their two grandchildren.
REPUBLICANS UNITED FOR FALL CAMPAIGN
McCrory endorsed by fellow Republican candidates
By Benjamin Niolet
The News & Observer
May 7, 2008
RALEIGH — Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue and Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory collected high profile endorsements today after they won their parties' nominations for governor. …
McCrory picked up the support of three of his Republican primary opponents -- state Sen. Fred Smith, former Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr and Salisbury lawyer Bill Graham.
Smith and Orr appeared at a news conference with McCrory, as did former Gov. Jim Holshouser, also a Republican.
McCrory said his support would reach beyond party lines in a state where Democrats have held the governor's office for much of the past century.
"Independent voters and a lot of Democrats believe in true leadership," he said. "I am proud to announce that North Carolina is once again a two-party state." …
My 582 mile walk across North Carolina was a remarkable experience. I was awed by the beauty of our state, and deeply enriched by the good people I met along the way.
Our citizens deserve a government as good as they are. They deserve a court system that is as fair and impartial, and that provides justice tempered by mercy.
I have a conservative judicial philosophy. I will not legislate from the bench. You can trust that I will be fair and impartial. And I will work to bring needed reforms to the court system.
My legal qualifications will allow me to contribute immediately to the fair interpretation and application of the law. In addition to extensive trial and appellate experience, I have authored North Carolina Employment Law, the only comprehensive guide to employment law issues in the state; chaired the Labor & Employment Law Section of the North Carolina Bar Association; and have received an “AV” rating by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest legal rating given.
But legal qualifications are not enough; judges need to understand how their decisions impact people’s lives. Life experiences, and what you learn from those experiences, allow you to go beyond reading the law to understanding how the law impacts those who appear before you.
My life experiences give me the needed perspective to understand the issues that affect our citizens. I am no stranger to struggles and hard work. I have served as a public servant in my capacity as a county commissioner and hospital trustee. I will not be isolated from the citizens whose cases I hear.
If elected, I will give those who appear before the Court of Appeals the respect and fairness they deserve.
Doug McCullough Re-elect Court of Appeals
www.re-electjudgemccullough.com
Hello, I am Judge Doug McCullough of the North Carolina Court of Appeals. Welcome to the website for my re-election campaign. I grew up in Swansboro, in Eastern North Carolina, and I have devoted my entire adult life to public service.
I spent twenty-nine years in the United States Marine Corps, worked on Capitol Hill with the Senate Ethics Committee, served as a Federal Prosecutor, and proudly serve on the North Carolina Court of Appeals.
Since February, 2001. I have been privileged to serve you.You elected me in 2000 as one of the 15 judges on the Court of Appeals, our intermediate appellate court. The Court of Appeals reviews all appeals, civil, criminal administrative or family law, except for those criminal cases involving the death penalty.
During the past seven and a half years I have authored over 700 opinions and participated in several thousand judicial decisions. A few of these opinions can be found in the Selected Opinions section.
All Court of Appeals decisions can be found at the North Carolina courts site, www.nccourts.org.
An appellate judge should have substantial trial experience, legal intellect, integrity, and the ability to communicate judicial decisions in clearly written opinions. I possess these skills.
I attended UNC for my undergraduate education and South Carolina for law school. I proudly served our nation for twenty-nine years in the United States Marine Corps. I spent almost four years on active duty, and retired from the Marine Corps Reserves as a Colonel in 1998.
After active duty I served as an organized crime prosecutor in Philadelphia before working on Capitol Hill as counsel to the Senate Ethics Committee and then legislative counsel to the last man to walk on the moon, former astronaut and Senator, Harrison (Jack) Schmitt.
I returned to North Carolina and for 15 years was a Federal Prosecutor (senior Assistant in the United States Attorney's Office in Raleigh).
Following my retirement from the Department of Justice I was in private practice for 4 years before assuming my place on this court. See my website for more of my biography.
Upon examination of my judicial record, my military record, my dedication to the State of North Carolina and our country,you will conclude that I should be re-elected for a 2nd term on the Court of Appeals.
Thank you for reviewing this website and thank you for your support.

Dole poised for fall campaign By Sarah Nagem and Mark Wineka U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., easily defeated her primary opponent Tuesday and will now face Democrat Kay Hagan, who also cruised to victory. … Dole issued a victory statement around 9 p.m. and said she was eager to campaign for re-election. … "My campaign will focus on my record of results for North Carolinians and the goals I still want to accomplish for our state," Dole said. "Since my election, I have enjoyed spending time in all of North Carolina's 100 counties and talking with people about the issues that matter most to them. "I look forward to an ongoing dialogue with folks from Manteo to Murphy and asking them for the privilege of representing them in a second term." … Dole, first elected to the Senate in 2002, has already set aside about $3.2 million for her re-election bid. … Dole, 71, cast her vote Tuesday morning at the Rowan Public Library in Salisbury. And it was no secret who the local Republican would be voting for in the presidential race. John McCain has military experience that the country needs right now, Dole said in front of the library. McCain's father and grandfather were veterans, too. "It's in the genes, so to speak," Dole said. … Dole said she has visited every county across the state and has listened to what voters want from her in Washington. "The No. 1 issue for our country is safety and security," Dole said. Other important issues are high gas prices, illegal immigrants and securing America's borders, she said. Locally, transportation is key, she said. … But as November approaches, Dole said she will remind residents across the state about what she has done in Washington. "I obviously want to have a vigorous discussion of the issues," she said.
