U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers, D-2nd District, has received a fair share of the national media spotlight, appearing on several cable news shows on Fox News and the Fox Business Channel in recent weeks.

The freshman lawmaker appeared Thursday on "Fox & Friends," where she discussed the ongoing stalemate over raising the federal debt ceiling. She was a guest on Fox Business Channel's "Lou Dobbs Tonight" on Friday, where she talked about the GOP's "Cut, Cap and Balance Plan."

Also on Friday, Ellmers participated in a congressional women's focus group moderated by legendary GOP pollster Frank Luntz on the Fox News show "Hannity."
