I won’t stand for this

Deborah Ross for Congress Earlier this month, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced that the US could default on our debt as soon as June 1st. We need to act now, but Kevin McCarthy insists on using the debt ceiling to push an extremist agenda on our families and play games with A…

What’s happening in NC right now is heartbreaking

Deborah Ross for Congress Earlier this week, we learned that North Carolina Republicans were introducing a 12-week abortion ban. Yesterday, the ban passed the state legislature. It’s now headed to the Governor's desk — and it's likely that lawmakers have the votes to override a veto. …

BREAKING: New NC abortion ban

We can’t play games with our teachers and students

Deborah Ross for Congress Last week, during a committee hearing that was meant to get our schools back on track after COVID-19, my right-wing colleagues derailed our entire proceedings to take shots at educators. At the same time, Kevin McCarthy used his debt ceiling bill to push an e…

NC Supreme Court rules in favor of partisan gerrymandering

Deborah Ross for Congress Critical Voter Alert: The North Carolina Supreme Court just ruled that the GOP’s unfair maps do NOT violate our state constitution. This reversal under the new, majority-GOP court gives voters NO state-level protections against partisan gerrymandering, which…
