For Hunger Action Day, I visited the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, which has provided hunger relief across our community for 45 years. Amid a cost-of-living crisis and cuts to SNAP benefits, it's essential that North Carolina families have access to immediate food assistance.

Today, @morelle.house.gov, @foushee.house.gov, and I hosted a shadow hearing on election security, where we spoke with voting rights experts about recent efforts to interfere with elections in NC and across the country.

At 10 AM, I am hosting a shadow hearing in Raleigh examining election security w/ @RepJoeMorelle + @ValerieFoushee, featuring NC Justice Allison Riggs. We’ll hear from experts about election interference and recent efforts to restrict voting access. And, we will share information on secure voting.

We saw the tragic effects of misinformation during Hurricane Helene—people across Western NC died because of it. I met with experts working to ensure North Carolinians get the resources and information they need. We must stay vigilant and prepare for the next storm.

Deborah K. Ross@ross.house.govSep 24(source)

A non-partisan report found that the Trump admin delayed disaster-proofing efforts that could help prevent the worst effects of disasters like Helene—with no real justification. This is a slap in the face to communities in North Carolina and all over the country.

As Trump threatened annihilation of our adversaries at the U.N., I was at New York Climate Week focused on real solutions to create a healthy economy and a healthy environment. The Thriving Economy Project is how we get there.

This is not about fraud—Trump himself granted clemency to healthcare executives convicted of defrauding our system out of millions of dollars. It’s about taking coverage away from Americans who need it.

Trump officials cut 760,000 enrollees from ACA, claiming fraud

Vice President JD Vance’s anti-fraud task force concluded that the people were wrongly signed up for the government health care program.

I'm wishing all who are observing Yom Kippur G’mar Chatimah Tovah for an easy fast and a day of meaningful reflection. May you and your family be sealed in the book of life.

Attorney General Todd Blanche now has the power to decide where federal prisoners serve their sentences, allowing him to reward Trump’s allies and punish his enemies. I spoke to The Marshall Project about the policy change and the corruption that comes with it.

In case you missed it, all of these war crimes were actions taken or threatened by President Trump or Secretary Pete Hegseth. We will continue to shine a light on this administration’s criminal and dangerous actions.

25 years ago today, our country experienced one of the darkest days in its history— and was forever changed. On 9/11 we mourn the lives tragically lost and recognize the bravery of first responders and ordinary Americans. We stand today with those grieving loved ones and promise to never forget.

Nearly a decade after toxic chemicals were found in the Cape Fear River, North Carolinians are finally getting what we’re owed from polluters. This is the largest environmental damage payout in NC’s history and long-awaited justice for the 500,000+ residents who rely on the Cape Fear for water.

Chemours, DuPont, Corteva reach $590M settlement with NC over PFAS lawsuits

The companies polluted the Cape Fear River with PFAS for decades.

I spoke with small business leaders about how Trump’s latest illegal tariffs are raising costs for small businesses and consumers. The Supreme Court has been clear: Trump cannot enact these tariffs without approval from Congress.

Deborah K. Ross@ross.house.govSep 8(source)

I spoke with Raleigh NARFE about the harmful impacts of the Trump administration’s cuts to our federal workforce. Public servants have been recklessly sacrificed at the expense of Americans’ health and safety. I will continue to fight this administration’s attacks against federal workers.

On Friday, North Carolina began sending out absentee ballots for the 2026 general election. Despite efforts by Trump and Republicans to sow chaos and undermine trust in our elections, we will not be deterred from conducting free and fair elections. Read more: ncnewsline.com/2026/09/03/i...

In the shadow of the federal fight over absentee ballots, NC is ready to start mailing them out • NC Newsline

Despite federal turmoil over absentee ballot delivery, NC is ready to start sending mail-in ballots to voters on Friday, Sept. 4, 2026.

Venkata Vasamsetty was finally released from ICE custody after being arrested and wrongfully detained. While I’m glad Ms. Vasamsetty is home safe, thousands of law-abiding immigrants like her are still being held in inhumane conditions using our tax dollars.
