The campaign · in their words

“I've spent my entire career improving the quality of life in our community - and throughout North Carolina. Today, as Congresswoman for North Carolina's Second District, I'm focused on the fight for fairness, equality, and progress. Let's do this together.”

Plank 1 · campaign site
Equality & Justice
“Since coming to Congress, I have worked hard to protect and expand voting rights, combat partisan and racial gerrymandering, enhance judicial ethics and transparency, support survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, and more.”
Plank 2 · campaign site
Access to Affordable Health Care
“I've also passed PBM reforms to crack down on abusive middlemen, increase transparency, and lower prescription drug costs for patients, and I've fought to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits to help keep health insurance affordable for North Carolinians.”
Plank 3 · campaign site
Education & Opportunity
“In Congress, I am fighting for greater federal resources for our schools as well as free, high quality pre-K programs for all our children.”

What They Care About

How this is measured

Bubble size = how much of Deborah K. Ross's sponsored bills, cosponsorships, campaign statements and tweets go to each domain. Votes are left out because they follow committee seats; domains a member's committees handle are discounted a little. Anything from the last 6 months counts double, so a topic they are on about right now grows. Darker = they have broken with their own party more often on that topic: the share of party-line votes since 2009 where they voted against their party's majority (gray = fewer than 8 such votes). Based on 11 sponsored, 465 cosponsored, 92 statements, 432 topical tweets. Click a bubble to open what they support and the bills and tweets behind it; click it again to close.
