Building a thriving community requires coordination from officials at the local, state, and federal level. I was honored to speak at Wake Forest's Chamber of Commerce Breakfast about how I'm working with officials at all levels of government to improve our community.

Once again, a nonpartisan group confirms that Congressional Republicans want to add trillions to the debt. Why? To pay for billionaire tax breaks and cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It's a bad bill and it's bad for NC.

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

The people of Wake Forest attended my town hall to ask about protecting civil rights, the Republican plan to cut Medicaid and SNAP in favor of billionaire tax breaks, and what we can do to fight back. Thank you for staying engaged and showing up.

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

Last night, Russia continued its bombing of Kyiv, decimating residential areas and harming hundreds of civilians. But behind the scenes, Trump is undermining our allies by taking a soft approach with Putin.

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

Last night, the Senate released their blueprint for Trump's terrible budget. Still cutting Medicaid. Still cutting SNAP. And still using that money for billionaire tax breaks. I'm still a no.

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

Medicaid is a lifeline for so many, but the Republican budget would kick more than 27,000 people in Wake County off their insurance and devastate hospitals across the state. I met with officials and advocates to discuss how this terrible budget would harm our communities.

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

A federal judge just confirmed what we already know: cutting NIH funding for women's health research is discriminatory and illegal. Women have been left out of medical research for too long. Restoring this funding is a vital step to saving the lives of women across the country.

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

North Carolina is home to many great institutions of higher education, including outstanding independent colleges and universities. I met with officials from independent schools about their work to lower costs for students while maintaining a high-quality education.

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

Happy Father's Day! I wouldn't be the person I am today without my dad's influence. Thank you to the dads, stepdads, grandads, and father figures showing up every day. We're grateful for all the ways you lead, teach, and care.

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

I am horrified by the shooting of two Minnesota state lawmakers. There is absolutely no place for political violence in America. I am praying for the victims and their families.

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

Wake County is home to so many creative people, and I'll always take the opportunity to celebrate them. Kevin Rojas, a local student and winner of NC-02's Congressional Art Competition Challenge, earned a trip to DC and the opportunity to hang his art in the halls of Congress.

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

NC-02 has more veterans than any other district in North Carolina. They don't need Trump's $45 million military birthday parade. They need housing and healthcare. Put taxpayers' money where it belongs.

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

Congrats to all the Wake County students graduating in the coming days! I can't wait to see the great things that the class of 2025 does in the future. www.cbs17.com/news/local-n...

Join me for a town hall in Wake Forest on Tuesday, June 17th at 6:30 PM. We'll talk about cuts to SNAP and Medicaid, what's at stake for the people of North Carolina, and how we can work together to protect the programs families rely on. RSVP here docs.google.com/forms/d/1Vfq...

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

Today, the House voted to defund PBS and cut support for our allies facing war and hunger. Costs are increasing and people are worried about cuts to the services they need, but Republicans would rather take money from Sesame Street. They need to get their priorities straight.

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

Too many student parents are forced to choose between completing their education and caring for their families. That's why I joined @mcbath.house.gov and Rep. Don Bacon to introduce a bipartisan bill to help colleges better support them.

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

See with your own eyes why Western North Carolina still needs federal support as they continue to rebuild.

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

Dreamers are American in every way except on paper. As we mark the 13th anniversary of DACA, we cannot waver in our commitment to ensuring that Dreamers who grew up in this country can continue to call it home.

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

Today, ahead of Women Veterans Recognition Day, I joined my colleagues to honor outstanding women from each of the six military branches and pay tribute to the women who gave their lives serving our country.

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

Three years after the start of its illegal war, Russia continues bombing Ukrainian mothers and children, but Trump is unwilling to take action. Putin and Russia don't want peace, and the United States should do everything we can to support Ukraine.
