5th District Congresswoman Virginia Foxx has been recognized by the group U.S. English for her “dedication to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States.”

A release from Foxx’s office says the “A in English” award recognizes her support of official English legislation. Legislation that factored into the award included co-sponsorship of the English Language Unity Act and a series of Congressional votes on reducing multilingualism in government and allowing employers the flexibility to enact English-in-the-Workplace policies.
