Congresswoman Deborah Ross, representing North Carolina's 2nd district since 2021, recently shared her thoughts and actions on various issues through a series of tweets. Her posts reflect her ongoing commitment to veterans' welfare and public health challenges.

On February 14, 2025, Congresswoman Ross expressed her gratitude towards veterans by stating: "We owe our veterans an immeasurable debt of gratitude for putting their lives on the line." She mentioned gathering Valentine's cards for veterans in NC02 as a gesture of appreciation and thanked those who contributed.

Later that day, at 19:14 UTC, she addressed the issue of drug overdoses affecting communities nationwide. She announced legislative efforts with the statement: "Drug overdoses have devastated communities in North Carolina and across the country." The legislation aims to combat illicit xylazine, a tranquilizing drug linked to fatal overdoses.

In another post on February 14 at 20:14 UTC, Ross criticized former President Trump's plans regarding veteran services. She emphasized the importance of healthcare benefits for veterans by saying: "Veterans earned their health care and benefits through their service to this country." Ross warned that such plans could harm veterans' access to essential services both locally and nationally.
