The 2024 election is now mostly in the rear-view mirror, and as we all know by now, huge change is in the offing thanks to the return of Donald Trump. Trump’s election would appear to bode ill for a host of important and successful federal government initiatives of recent years on such matters as health care, environmental protection, education and more.
One member of Congress who will be doing her best to defend many of those successful initiatives is Wake County U.S. Rep. Deborah Ross. Ross was reelected by a wide margin this past Tuesday and as she told NC Newsline when we caught up with her the day after Election Day, she’s hopeful that Democrats can add some balance to Washington and that her colleagues will return to Capitol Hill in the next few weeks to provide much more aid for hurricane-impacted areas of western North Carolina.
