Volunteering to join our Armed Forces is an act of courage and patriotism. I'm always proud to support Wake County students who pursue appointments to our country's preeminent military academies. This is the first step in their lifetime of leadership and service.

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

Today, I joined @foushee.house.gov to discuss our shared priorities with local Wake County officials.

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

Trump's tariffs, layoffs, and funding freezes are dangerous for local economies. I sat down with state and local economic leaders to hear how Trump's actions are affecting business and employment and learn how they plan to navigate the chaotic landscape.

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

Trump's plan to cut the IRS workforce by 25% could cause delays and frustration for taxpayers. On Tax Day, @doggett.house.gov and I are demanding answers about staff cuts and the decision to scale back and terminate audits of the wealthiest Americans.

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

Trump and RFK Jr. continue to gut funding and halt critical public health research. That's why I led a letter with @repkamlagerdove.bsky.social about how cuts to women's health research will put women's lives at risk.

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

Trump's own Justice Department admitted this man was wrongly deported. Now Trump is openly defying the Supreme Court. This should be condemned by everyone who supports our constitution. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Bukele says he won’t return migrant deported to El Salvador due to Trump error

Trump administration officials said the fate of Maryland resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia was up to El Salvador.

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

It’s one thing to be a sore loser. It’s something else entirely to seek to disenfranchise Americans who are bravely serving our country in uniform. We cannot allow an American election to be invalidated by stealing the votes of American heroes. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Regardless of partial victory, Riggs vows to keep fighting Griffin challenge

“I want you all to know that the eyes of the country are on the people in this state.”

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govApr 13(source)

Over 2 million North Carolinians rely on Medicaid for their health care, but the Republican budget would gut funding for the program. Expanding Medicaid saved countless lives in NC. I won't let Republicans destroy that progress.

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

Wishing everyone celebrating in #NC02 & beyond a happy and healthy Passover. Chag Sameach!

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

Donald Trump visited Western NC, looked hurricane victims in the eye, and promised them his full support. This decision is a betrayal of our state. www.newsweek.com/trump-denies...

Trump denies FEMA aid extension in state he won three times

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, President Donald Trump voiced sharp criticism of FEMA's response in North Carolina.

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

Forcing elderly and disabled residents to visit Social Security offices in-person creates unnecessary barriers to accessing their earned benefits. I'll always fight for Social Security, especially as Musk tries to eviscerate it. www.cbsnews.com/news/social-...

Social Security backtracks on in-person identification policy after outcry. Here's what it means.

The agency said it's reversing a decision to cut phone services for identity verification after a backlash from seniors.

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

Trump's revocation of visas for those who served alongside American soldiers and other refugees undermines trust in our country. Sending these heroic individuals back to war-torn and disaster ridden areas is unacceptable.

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

This #BlackMaternalHealthWeek, we must recommit ourselves to eradicating racial health disparities. Mothers of all races and backgrounds should receive the care they need to have healthy babies.

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

I joined @foushee.house.gov to demand that Secretary Rubio reverse his order to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders. Our state has long welcomed South Sudanese immigrants and refugees, and this action by the administration is inhumane and unacceptable.

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

As costs keep rising, no one should ever have to choose between paying their bills or buying groceries. That's why I joined @democrats-edworkforce.house.gov to introduce the Raise the Wage Act to help working Americans stay afloat by raising the federal minimum wage.

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

The SAVE Act is a blatant attempt by Republicans to rollback voting rights in North Carolina and across the country — especially for women, service members, Americans in rural communities, and voters of color. I spoke out against the SAVE Act on the House floor.

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

Today, I voted against a dangerous Republican scheme to slash funding for healthcare, food assistance, education, and more. North Carolinians rely on these funds, including over 600,000 new residents who rely on Medicaid. Republicans must stand up for their constituents and fight these cuts.

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

Congressional Republicans are attempting to dismantle appropriate checks and balances so they can promote President Trump’s extreme, harmful agenda on the American people. I voted against the No Rogue Rulings Act, and I hope reasonable Republicans in the Senate will as well.

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

Tomorrow, the House will vote on a bill that would disenfranchise 60+ million women across this country. This bill hurts female voters. I'm voting NO on the SAVE Act.

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

Trump tanked the economy for a few days before pausing his disastrous tariffs, and the American people paid the price. Whatever you believe about tariffs, it's obvious his chaotic "strategy" harms all of us. It's time for Congress to step in.
