When we fail to invest in our students, we fail to invest in our future. Political attacks on vital NIH grants are limiting opportunity for the next generations of researchers. This will only damage our public health. ncnewsline.com/2025/09/15/n...

NC's next generation of scientists fear careers are going 'up in smoke' as NIH grants end • NC Newsline

Loss of NIH grants over DEI shuts down science education programs in NC and ends support for research into HIV and health disparities.

Western NC is still waiting for federal relief nearly a year after Hurricane Helene. I fully support Governor Stein's push for federal action. I'll keep urging Congress and the White House to deliver on their promises to help Western North Carolinians.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govSep 12(source)

If you want to get a vaccine, you should be able to. While Trump and RFK Jr. try to limit Americans' access to safe and effective vaccines, I'm glad to see Gov. Stein working to expand access for North Carolinians. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

After FDA limits, Gov. Stein explores ways to expand COVID vaccine access in NC

“Doctors recommend vaccination,” Stein says. The FDA recommended new COVID vaccines for people 65 and up or with a high-risk condition.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govSep 11(source)

The news of threats of violence against HBCUs across the country is appalling. I'm grateful that as of now no violence has been reported. I expect the FBI and DOJ to thoroughly investigate these threats. Violence has no place in our society.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govSep 11(source)

Healthcare costs are skyrocketing at rates we haven't seen in years. American families are paying more while Republicans continue to give handouts to billionaires. You deserve better.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govSep 11(source)

September 11, 2001 changed this country forever. Twenty-four years later, we remember the lives senselessly cut short, those injured that day, and the people who showed bravery when it mattered most. We stand with the families still grieving and promise to never forget.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govSep 10(source)

Camp Lejeune vets risked their lives to defend our country. They shouldn't have to wait any longer to access justice. It’s shameful that Republican leadership blocked our bipartisan bill to support these brave veterans. We won't stop pushing to pass this bill.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govSep 9(source)

Trump, Noem, and DOGE are slowing down the FEMA approval process, leaving NC towns and counties without recovery funding for months. It's been nearly a year since Helene. Western North Carolinians can't afford these delays. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

With Helene money caught in red tape, NC is ground zero for calls to reform FEMA

Frustrated by delays, Western North Carolina leaders want to see FEMA reform.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govSep 9(source)

Insurance premiums are increasing and energy prices are surging thanks to Republicans' Big Ugly Law. They promised to lower costs, but they're only making life more expensive while driving up unemployment.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govSep 9(source)

Trump's Big Ugly Law will threaten NC's Medicaid expansion and raise costs across the state, all while leaving millions without healthcare or nutrition assistance. This is wrong and it will hurt our state. ncnewsline.com/2025/09/05/e...

Expenses shifted to the states for food benefits and health insurance will cost NC billions • NC Newsline

NC will have to decide how to handle increased costs for food assistance and Medicaid expansion imposed by the federal government.

This is what happens when leaders don't take public health seriously. I hope this person gets the treatment they need. RFK and other vaccine skeptics must understand the gravity of their policies. abc11.com/post/wake-co...

Case of tuberculosis at Raleigh high school confirmed, NCDHHS says

NCDHHS has confirmed a case of tuberculosis in Wake County.

For 25 years, Hum Sub has been a cornerstone of cultural exchange in NC, allowing everyone to experience India and creating a community for Indian-Americans in the Triangle. Thank you for inviting me to speak and for hosting the Discover India exhibition.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govSep 6(source)

Shutdowns are bad for everyone. Congress must do its job to keep the government open and working. While @housedemocrats.bsky.social push for a bipartisan solution to prevent a shutdown, Republicans continue to choose chaos instead.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govSep 5(source)

Unemployment is rising. Hiring is at its worst level since 2021. And Trump's reckless tariffs and billionaire tax breaks are raising prices. We can't afford Trump's economy. www.wral.com/story/us-emp...

US hiring stalls with employers reluctant to expand in an economy grown increasingly erratic

WASHINGTON (AP) — The American job market, a pillar of U.S. economic strength since the pandemic, is crumbling under the weight of President Donald Trump’s erratic economic policies.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govSep 5(source)

Politicizing vaccines is dangerous for everyone in our country. We have a responsibility to take care of our community. That means protecting their health. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Florida surgeon general says state will eliminate all vaccine mandates

"Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery," Dr. Joseph Ladapo said. "Who am I to tell you what your child should put in [their] body?"

Democracy survives when people are willing to stand up for it. Thank you League of Women Voters for always standing up and for inviting me to speak about how we can continue to preserve and strengthen our democracy.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govSep 3(source)

I visited Western NC to see the recovery efforts firsthand. While some areas are still in vital need of resources, I'm glad to see places like Lansing are back in business. Lansing is hosting their town celebration Sept. 27! www.visitnc.com/event/7c6t/l...

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govSep 3(source)

Once again, a federal judge ruled that Trump acted illegally. He cannot use the National Guard as his own police force. I'm glad to see the courts upholding our laws despite Trump's efforts to dismantle them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Judge rules Trump administration broke law in deploying National Guard soldiers to LA this summer

The White House has indicated it plans to appeal a judge's ruling that President Donald Trump’s use of National Guard troops during California immigration enforcement protests is illegal.
