I'm so proud to celebrate the Wake County Public Health Center opening its doors. In 2022, I secured $2 million in federal funding to help bring this project to life. This facility is an important step forward in helping our community access the care they need.

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

Yesterday, Governor Stein and the North Carolina Delegation convened to discuss the progress, roadblocks and steps ahead to rebuild Western NC. We must work together, across party lines, to get things done for Western North Carolina.

Fatima did all the right things to be in this country; she has work authorization, no criminal record, and is allowed to be here while her asylum case was pending. Yet she was still detained for over a month. This is happening across the country. It's unlawful and unjust.

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

The Fed Chair must remain independent and nonpartisan -- whether or not the administration in power agrees with their decisions. The Trump admin's investigation into Powell is political intimidation, and it threatens our economic stability.

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

On Thursday, the House achieved a milestone when it passed a bill to extend ACA tax credits. But there is still a ways to go before it's signed into law. In the meantime, I'll be doing everything in my power to get this bill over the finish line and lower health care costs.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJan 8(source)

The House finally passed an extension of the ACA tax credits. But let's be clear: this was an avoidable crisis. For months, Republicans refused to work with Democrats to prevent health care costs from going up. Now, it goes to the Senate, where I hope this will pass ASAP.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJan 8(source)

Minneapolis is the latest community to experience violence at the hands of ICE and CBP. We saw it in North Carolina too. Federal immigration officers have been abusing their power and violating people's rights. Our people have said: enough is enough.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJan 8(source)

Later today, the House finally plans hold a vote to extend ACA tax credits, despite Republican leadership's attempts to prevent this from happening. Americans across the country have made their voices clear -- healthcare prices are too expensive. I will keep fighting to lower costs.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJan 7(source)

Today, our country saw the killing of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis by a masked ICE agent. The evidence does not justify this act of violence. The masked shooter must be criminally investigated and face the consequences.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJan 7(source)

Trump wants to buy Greenland, our NATO ally, and destabilize our relationship with Europe. Instead of lowering costs for the American people, this administration is focused on attempts to take over foreign nations. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Exclusive | Rubio Tells Lawmakers Trump Aims to Buy Greenland, Downplays Military Action

The secretary of state said the White House is using rhetoric to pressure Denmark into negotiations.

Congresswoman Ross Statement on the Fifth Anniversary of the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJan 6(source)

Five years ago, President Trump incited a violent mob on the U.S. Capitol. 5 years later, Trump & his Republican enablers continue to rewrite history, peddling lies & pardoning violent rioters. We must pledge to tell the truth of what happened & continue fighting for our sacred democracy.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJan 3(source)

At a minimum, Congress must be fully and transparently briefed and then take appropriate action.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJan 3(source)

This action endangers our citizens and democracy around the world. Using military force to remove a foreign head of state unquestionably requires congressional authorization. Trump ignored that requirement, once again thumbing his nose at our constitution and Congress.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJan 3(source)

To be clear, Maduro is a despot who stole elections, imprisoned his political opponents, and trampled on the rights and dignity of his people. But the Trump administration cannot unilaterally impose regime change and push the United States to the brink of war.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJan 3(source)

Last night, Donald Trump authorized a military operation to enact regime change in Venezuela. He acted without regard for the constitution and without considering the long-term consequences for our security or our democracy.

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

Congress has finally given the Lumbee Tribe full federal recognition after fighting for 137 years for the benefits they deserve. This is long overdue, and I am thrilled that the Lumbee will finally have access to the same services as other federally recognized tribes.

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

Western NC is STILL waiting for the federal dollars it needs to fully recover. I led @adams.house.gov, @foushee.house.gov, & Rep. Don Davis to introduce a bill to cut the red tape and get Western NC the relief they deserve, faster. Read more here: spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/charlotte...

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

Happy Hanukkah! May this holiday bring all those celebrating joy and light, and serve as a powerful reminder of the resilience of the Jewish people. Chag Sameach!

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

Next week is our last legislative week of the year and our last chance to preserve access to life-saving care for our constituents. It's time for Republicans to join Democrats to extend the ACA tax credits and save health care access for millions of Americans.
