The Department of Education was created by Congress, and Trump and Musk cannot eliminate it without Congressional approval.
I take my cues from my constituents, and I'll do everything I can to keep the Dept. of Ed. intact.

I know I don't want Elon Musk to have access to my sensitive personal information.
But Trump is letting him run wild in the Social Security Administration. Musk now has access to Americans' bank information, tax information, and retirement information.

I had the pleasure of speaking with students at North Wake College and Career Academy about my work in Congress and how I'm fighting for #NC02.
I know our community has a bright future with students and schools like these!
Presidents' Day is a day to celebrate the dedication and progress we've made under the leaders of our country.
It's also a time to remember that their power derives from the people and the Constitution, and Presidents are accountable to both.
Veterans earned their health care and benefits through their service to this country.
Trump's plan to gut VA is disgraceful and will greatly hamper its ability to offer services, hurting veterans in North Carolina and across the country.

Drug overdoses have devastated communities in North Carolina and across the country.
That's why I introduced bipartisan legislation to combat the rise of illicit xylazine, a tranquilizing drug causing fatal overdoses.
We owe our veterans an immeasurable debt of gratitude for putting their lives on the line.
I was glad to gather Valentines cards for veterans in #NC02 today as a small token of appreciation. Thanks so much to everyone who dropped off a card!
Great celebrating the Lunar New Year and ushering in the Year of the Snake.
Wishing everyone in NC and beyond a year of peace with loved ones.
The Republican budget plan would slash health care for millions of Americans to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations.
This is Project 2025 in action.
My last District Work period was a full one. Check out what I was up to.
President Trump's blanket freeze of federal funding will have lasting effects on North Carolina's energy grid.
We must protect our energy sector by keeping these vital funds flowing.
Right now, the single greatest threat to free speech in our country is President Trump.
I called out Trump's attacks on free speech in a @democrats-judiciary.house.gov hearing.
NIH funding cuts wouldn't just hurt North Carolina researchers and our local economy.
The ultimate victims of President Trump's cuts would be patients and their families.
Firing a watchdog in charge of eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in your government will only open the door to more governmental waste, fraud, and abuse.

I was proud to join Rep. Eric Sorensen asking for answers about reports that Elon Musk and his staff entered NOAA HQ and gained access to sensitive systems.

NC02: Thank you to 15,000 people for showing up and asking questions at my telephone town hall last night.
I know many of us are worried about Trump and Musk's illegal and harmful actions. Collectively, we have power when we speak out and stay engaged.
📢#NC02📢: I will be hosting a telephone town hall TONIGHT, February 11th at 8:00pm.
Wake County School Board Chair Chris Heagarty and Advance Community Health CEO Scot McCray will be joining.
Join at ross.house.gov/live or facebook.com/RepDeborahRoss.
The first weeks of the Trump administration have been nothing short of tumultuous.
My office is getting higher amounts of calls than usual & I just want to remind everyone how important their voices are in this fight. Keep speaking out & using your power.
Trump attempted to slash funding for research on cancer, Alzheimer's, heart disease, and other ailments.
A federal judge has temporarily blocked this dangerous move, but the fight is far from over. My full statement:
For today's forecast, I joined Rep. Sorensen in demanding answers about reports that Elon Musk and his staff entered NOAA HQ and gained access to sensitive info.
NOAA is critical to accurate weather forecasting and storm monitoring. DOGE has no business near it.
