Foxx first went viral as a teenager after confronting Senator Jeff Flake in a heated town hall exchange over Planned Parenthood funding. The clip, which now has millions of views on YouTube, showed a poised 16-year-old challenging his stance by asking why she should be denied the same American dream he enjoyed. That moment launched her into the national spotlight as a rising Gen Z activist.
Now 25, Foxx is running for Congress on a platform that includes abolishing ICE, passing Medicare for All, expanding public housing, and raising the minimum wage to $17 an hour. If she wins Arizona’s Democratic primary next week and goes on to take the seat in the deep-blue district, she would become the youngest current member of Congress, and the first Gen Z woman to ever hold office there.
