Trump and his cronies are waging an all-out war on women, using the federal government to strip away our rights and our healthcare. They aren't backing down and neither can we. I joined Free and Just to call out their attacks and tell NC women that we will always fight for them.

I'm in Western NC to see the rebuilding efforts firsthand as we near the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Helene. First stop: Grandfather Mountain

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govAug 28(source)

Over 180 FEMA employees warned the Trump administration is sending the agency “back to a pre-Katrina era.” Putting them on leave for speaking out is reckless. Silencing experts undermines safety when our communities need FEMA most.

The Congressional App Challenge is a great opportunity for students to expand their coding skills and showcase their creativity. @foushee.house.gov and I are hosting an informational session. Register using the link by Monday, Sept. 1! bit.ly/Jumpstarter2...

Too many victims and families impacted by Camp Lejeune's toxic water are still waiting for justice. There have been over 400,000 claims filed and fewer than 1,000 resolved. That's why I joined Rep. Murphy in introducing legislation to speed up settlements and reach justice.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govAug 27(source)

Ahead of Labor Day, @foushee.house.gov and I showed our support for local unions and laborers 💪

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govAug 27(source)

I’m devastated by the horrific shooting in Minneapolis. Two children’s lives were taken and so many more are hurting. My heart is with the families and communities grieving today. No parent should send their child to school and not see them come home.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govAug 26(source)

Our veterans deserve our utmost gratitude and support. But so far, Trump has worked to weaken VA, cut funding, and fire vital staff. I hosted a town hall with veterans in Raleigh to discuss my work for veterans in Congress and hear how I can best serve them.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govAug 26(source)

Most Americans pay about 30% of their income in taxes. The wealthiest 400 Americans? Only 24%. And the billionaire tax breaks in Trump's Big Ugly Bill will only make this disparity worse. thehill.com/business/546...

On Women's Equality Day, we honor the trailblazers who fought for women's right to vote and recognize the work still ahead to achieve true equality. The best way to honor them is to keep working to expand opportunity for women in North Carolina and across the nation.

The federal government has a duty to protect Americans from scammers and fraudsters, but Trump is purposefully gutting the agency in charge of doing just that. indyweek.com/news/nc-offi...

Donald Trump's plan to ban mail-in voting is another attempt to silence North Carolinians. Mail-in voting is safe and essential for servicemembers, seniors, working families, and rural voters. www.notus.org/north-caroli...

North Carolina Democrats Brace for More Republican Efforts to Limit Voting Access

Party officials and lawmakers are preparing to fight Trump’s promised ban on mail-in voting.

Wake County students are back in school today as Trump's reckless tariffs and inflation force teachers and parents to pay more for essential school supplies. indyweek.com/news/northca...

NC Teachers Spend Hundreds Of Dollars on School Supplies Each Year. Triangle Organizations Are Working to Split the Bill.

Nonprofit WakeEd held a media event this week to highlight the burden of school supply costs on local teachers, which average $1,600 per year.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govAug 24(source)

I was grateful to join Secretary Marshall, former CFPB Director @choprausa.bsky.social, and advocates to discuss how we can protect North Carolinians from scams and predatory practices at a time when Trump's admin is making it easier for scammers and bad actors to take advantage of NC families.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govAug 23(source)

Trump’s cuts to NIH research are bad for public health and important research. They’d also devastate the Triangle’s economy and provide a gift to China. www.wral.com/story/triang...

Triangle at the epicenter of proposed cuts to federal funding for medical research

RDU is growing and so is our region. A new grant from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which I voted for, will help build a safer and longer main runway to meet the Triangle's growth. This is a win for North Carolina and our future. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

RDU wins another federal grant to help build a new main runway

Sen. Thom Tillis announced the money on Wednesday, helping the airport with a project that is expected to cost more than $1 billion.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govAug 21(source)

Trump's tariffs are making back-to-school season more expensive for every family. They deserve to begin the school year right, but Trump's economy means spending more for basic school supplies.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govAug 21(source)

NIH cuts are bad for public health, and they'd be a disaster for the Triangle's economy. Republicans need to stand up to Trump before he further harms our state. www.wunc.org/education/20...

Q&A: Researchers warn proposed NIH cuts could cost NC's Research Triangle over $1 billion economically

SCIMaP co-founder and University of Pennsylvania researcher Alyssa Sinclair recently spoke with WUNC higher education reporter Brianna Atkinson about the potential impact of a 40% Trump-proposed cut t...

We must do everything we can to provide our veterans with top-notch healthcare and facilities. Today, I stopped by for the ribbon cutting at the new VA outpatient clinic in Garner. This clinic will ensure 25,000 veterans in the area receive state-of-the-art care closer to home.
