When you're at the beach or the pool this summer, don't forget your sunscreen! July is UV Safety Awareness Month, when we encourage safe sun practices. Protecting people from UV radiation is why I introduced the Safe Sunscreen Standards Act to modernize the sunscreen approval process ☀️

Cuts to Medicaid are not isolated. They will cause people to lose their insurance, including many Americans with disabilities. Yet Republicans passed them anyway. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/21/w...

Disabled Americans Fear What Medicaid Cuts Could Do to Them

James Ferguson was a towering figure in North Carolina, dedicating his life to creating a more equal and just world. He was brilliant and kind, a great mentor and a better friend. We will miss him dearly. www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/a...

Prominent Charlotte civil rights attorney James Ferguson dies at age 82

He was a crucial player in some of the biggest civil rights cases nationwide.

Republicans voted to cut funding for SNAP, knowing it would devastate hungry people across the country. This is what they voted for. The most at-risk in our communities are hurt the most.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJul 18(source)

No one should have to worry that politics will stand between them and the care they need. That's why I'm proud to introduce legislation to ensure states can't ban medications that have been approved by the FDA.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJul 18(source)

In the dead of night, Republicans passed their bill to claw back funding for public broadcasting and foreign assistance. North Carolinians rely on public broadcasting to stay safe during storms & much more. This bill will hurt vulnerable people – both at home and abroad.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJul 17(source)

I am proud to introduce the Right to FDA-Approved Medicines Act. We cannot allow states to circumvent the FDA to ban effective, life-saving medications. Science, not politics, should guide healthcare in this country.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJul 17(source)

Republicans have been working on some terrible legislation this month. As long as they're pushing policies that will hurt North Carolina, I'll keep fighting every step of the way.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJul 17(source)

I spoke on the House floor to honor Juanita Bryant, a trailblazer from North Carolina who spent her life fighting for women. Her legacy lives on in every woman and girl who follows in her footsteps.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJul 17(source)

Weather forecasting isn't just science. It's survival. But this administration wants to cut the funding for weather forecasters across the country. That would leave communities with fewer tools and less warning to respond to future disasters.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJul 17(source)

Donald Trump's tax hikes and tariffs have already cost North Carolinians $1.5 billion, with more to come. Higher costs, job cuts, hospital closures. Working families can't afford Trump's economy.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJul 16(source)

Devastating storms like those in Texas and North Carolina demonstrate the need for accurate weather forecasting technology. Today, I introduced bipartisan legislation to help Americans plan for severe weather through improved precipitation forecasts.

I am introducing the bipartisan CARE for Kids Act w/ Representatives Don Bacon & @ross.house.gov to expand school meal eligibility for children being raised by grandparents & other relatives. This bill will ensure more children get access to nutrition&lessen the financial burden for their guardians.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJul 16(source)

Right now, outdated policies are preventing students from getting the meals they need at school just because they live with a grandparent or another caregiver. I'm working with @repjahanahayes.bsky.social to fix this problem.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJul 16(source)

Healthcare costs are out of control, and PBMs are part of the problem. Our bipartisan bill will increase fairness, reduce costs, and help Americans access the medications they need. www.fiercehealthcare.com/payers/bipar...

Public broadcasting is vital for children's education, communication during natural disasters, reaching rural areas, and much more. But Republicans want to gut this funding. NC Dems stand firmly against these cuts. www.bpr.org/2025-07-16/n...

Republicans' Big Ugly Law decimates food assistance for 42 million Americans, including Erica, a grandmother from Wilson, NC and so many more families. I voted no, and I'll keep speaking out about the damage this cruel law causes.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJul 15(source)

I take my cues from North Carolina, and state energy leaders were clear: Trump's plan to gut funding for clean energy is bad for our economy and our state.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJul 15(source)

Trump's reckless tariffs are increasing inflation and raising prices. Americans still struggle to get by, but he's charging ahead and derailing our economy. Congressional Republicans need to grow a spine and end these tariffs.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJul 14(source)

I was proud to host clean energy leaders and my @newdems.bsky.social colleague @repnikema.bsky.social in Garner to hear directly from those affected by Trump's harmful bill. We will keep fighting to strengthen our clean energy economy.
