Deja Foxx

Deja Foxx is a Democrat running for U.S. House of Representatives, AZ-07.

Raised by a single mom in Tucson, Deja Foxx grew up relying on free lunch programs, SNAP benefits, Section 8 housing, and Medicaid. As a teenager experiencing homelessness due to her mother's substance abuse struggles, Deja balanced high school with shifts at a gas station while advocating for better sex education in her district. She organized student storytellers and won implementation of an updated curriculum, replacing one from the 1980s.

Deja gained national attention confronting Senator Jeff Flake over Republican votes to defund Planned Parenthood, asking pointedly: "Why would you deny me the American Dream if birth control is helping me to be successful and reach for higher education?" She became the first in her family to graduate college, earning a degree from Columbia University. At just 19, she made history as one of the youngest presidential campaign staffers, leading Influencer Strategy for Kamala Harris. In 2024, she spoke at the Democratic National Convention about how the cost of living, reproductive rights restrictions, and student debt affect her generation.

Now running in Arizona's 7th Congressional District. She has a vision for our future: one where families like yours can afford rent and groceries, you decide if and when to start a family, and no matter where you’re from or how much money your parents make, you have a shot at getting ahead. Now, she’s running in Arizona’s 7th Congressional District to represent a new generation of progressive leaders ready to disrupt on day one.
