In the state legislature, Representative Ross garnered a reputation as a strong gun safety advocate by supporting bills that would have required reporting on lost or stolen handguns and consistently voting against legislation that would have allowed concealed handguns in public spaces.

Incumbent

Congresswoman Deborah Ross has spent more than two decades fighting for North Carolina families, including ten years in the North Carolina House of Representatives and nearly six years representing the Triangle in Congress. Throughout her career, Ross has built a reputation as a thoughtful legislator and effective advocate for affordable health care, clean energy, voting rights, and economic opportunity.

In Congress, Ross serves on the House Judiciary Committee and is a member of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, where she has been a consistent advocate for immigrant communities and North Carolina’s growing AAPI population. She has supported legislation to protect DACA recipients, expand access to affordable health care, strengthen voting rights, and ensure that immigrants, international students, and visa holders can contribute and thrive.

NCAAT in Action is proud to endorse Deborah Ross because she has consistently demonstrated that she understands the importance of engaging with Asian American communities—not only during election season, but through her work in Congress. Her commitment to protecting civil rights, expanding opportunity, and ensuring that every North Carolinian is represented aligns closely with NCAAT in Action’s vision of a more inclusive and equitable democracy.
