Congresswoman Deborah Ross, who has been serving North Carolina’s 2nd district since 2021, recently shared a series of tweets addressing various issues. Ross, a former member of the North Carolina House of Representatives and a graduate of Brown University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, voiced her concerns over legislative and societal matters.

On March 12, 2025, Congresswoman Ross tweeted about the potential impact of the Republicans' SAVE Act on voting rights. She expressed concern that the act "will make it harder, if not impossible, for millions of women to vote" and highlighted her involvement in a roundtable discussion focusing on its implications for her constituents in North Carolina's 2nd district. The full tweet can be viewed here.

Later that day, Ross addressed budgetary priorities in another tweet posted at 14:35:45 UTC. She criticized actions taken by former President Trump and entrepreneur Elon Musk, claiming they are "defunding local schools to pay for their massive billionaire tax breaks." She warned that "cutting half the staff is the first step to cutting the entire agency." This statement can be found here.

In another tweet from March 12, Ross emphasized health awareness as part of #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth. At 20:05:59 UTC, she informed her followers that colon cancer is "the second leading cancer killer in men and women combined" but noted its preventability with early detection being crucial for saving lives. The tweet is available here.
