Congresswoman Deborah Ross is a civil rights advocate, a clean energy champion, a lawyer, and a proud citizen of Wake County. Sworn into the House of Representatives on January 3, 2021, she represents North Carolina’s 2nd Congressional District.
Deborah grew up in a small town, and her parents instilled in her the belief that with opportunity comes responsibility and that through public service she could help others and make a difference.
All too often, women are paid less than men for the same work. I firmly support creating federal equal pay protections to ensure women are paid what they are owed.
No politician should come between medical providers and their patients. As a lawyer and legislator, I have worked for decades to protect access to abortion. In Congress, I am fighting to expand access to quality health and reproductive care.
