U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx visited the Clemmons Kiwanis Club last week, praising the club’s public service and giving a quick assessment of the work going on in Washington, D.C.

She noted that the Republican-led House had passed a number of bills that would have benefitted the nation’s economy and military, only to have them bottled up in the Democratic-led Senate.

Forsyth Sheriff Bill Schatzman and Mayor Nick Nelson were on hand to welcome Foxx to Clemmons. She spoke at the Clemmons Library
