Deborah Ross July 12, 2023

This morning, I proudly joined my colleagues Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, PhD, Haley Stevens, and Nikema Williams to reintroduce the Clean Slate legislative series – a multi-pronged effort to help borrowers recover from crippling student loan debt and help Americans of all ages achieve their educational dreams. Too many of us are experiencing the financial ramifications of student loan debt, and students should not be punished for seeking an education.

SCOTUS just affirmed what North Carolinians already knew: State Legislatures do not have free rein to trample the voices of voters for their own political gain. This is a major victory for free and fair elections. https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/27/politics/supreme-court-election-clause-case/index.html

Deborah Ross June 26, 2023

On the anniversaries of Obergefell v. Hodges and Lawrence v. Texas, momentous Supreme Court decisions for equality, let us celebrate the victories we’ve won and the progress we’ve made, but acknowledge that we must do more to protect the LGBTQ+ community in North Carolina and across the country.

The Dobbs Decision

Deborah Ross June 24, 2023

One year ago today, the Supreme Court overturned nearly 50 years of precedent and endangered the lives of women everywhere. The Dobbs decision proved to all of us that our rights are not safe – but we cannot and will not stop fighting. I am confident in what I’ve always known and fought for: Women should be able to make their own decisions about their own bodies and their own health care. I am more determined than ever to protect reproductive freedom and ensure women in every state can access the health care they need.
