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.

Rep Jahana Hayes@repjahanahayes.bsky.socialJul 16(source)

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Right now, outdated policies are preventing students from getting the meals they need at school just because they live with a grandparent or another caregiver.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...

Bipartisan legislators revive PBM reform debate on the Hill

While major pharmacy benefit management reform was stripped out of the Big Beautiful Bill, a bipartisan group of representatives has introduced legislation that takes aim at the industry. | While majo...

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...

N.C. Democrats ask Senate leaders to remove public broadcasting funding clawback from recissions bill

Representatives Alma Adams, Deborah Ross, Valerie Foushee, and Don Davis wrote, “Public broadcasting is pivotal to North Carolina, and across the country, especially during hurricane season and other ...

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.

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

Trump is blocking $165 million for schools across NC with little notice. 1,000 educators could lose their jobs. Blocking these resources is wrong and will hurt students and families. I'm calling on the administration to follow the law and release this school funding.

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

We've seen the damage severe weather causes. Gutting FEMA and the agencies that track severe weather endangers communities across the country. Trump is risking our future health and safety for pure politics.

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

Trump recklessly increased tariffs but has made just two trade deals. He's raising prices for all Americans and getting next to nothing in return.

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

Wonderful to visit Christ the King Lutheran Church in Cary today. They are doing indispensable work to combat food insecurity and hunger in Wake County.

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

For too long, PBMs have served as unregulated middlemen, driving up prices for life-saving medications for patients. I’m proud to work with Rep. Buddy Carter on these reforms. It’s time to hold PBMs accountable and ensure every American can access the medications they need.

New Dems@newdems.bsky.socialJul 11(source)

Once again, New Dems got out of DC to hear from experts about how to improve policy in Washington. Today, New Dems @ross.house.gov & @repnikema.bsky.social were in North Carolina to learn more about how The GOP's Big Ugly Bill will impact the clean energy economy—and how we can fight back.

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

The Trump admin is illegally withholding $8 million from Wake County Public Schools. I joined @mcbath.house.gov and House Democrats in demanding these funds be released immediately. Our students and teachers deserve better.

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

The Trump administration is blocking over $8 million in federal education funding from Wake County public schools. This is shameful. Our schools should not be caught up in Trump's political games. I will always fight to make sure our public schools have the resources they need.

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

Trump promised 90 trade deals in 90 days. Today, all we're left with is chaos and higher prices.

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

Trump's tariffs could mean an even rockier time for our economy while Americans are still struggling under high costs. His reckless tariffs are a bad idea, but that hasn't stopped him before.

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

Trump's cronies want to privatize the weather forecasting systems that everyone relies on so they can line their own pockets. Forcing people to pay for accurate weather forecasts is dangerous.
