I am proud and pleased to be the Representative for North Carolina House District 38. Thank you for your help and support. I want to keep making a difference for the residents of District 38.

As your representative, I pushed for laws to preserve and create jobs, enhance economic security, increase transportation options, create education opportunities, make health care more affordable, and protect our neighborhoods.

This past session I worked on several new laws that help and protect our citizens. I sponsored a comprehensive statewide intermodal transportation law.  I pushed through a new law to punish people who overcharge for state contracts. I promoted new laws to protect citizens from foreclosure and debt buying abuses.  I sponsored new laws to protect victims of domestic violence and improve our justice system. And, I worked to continue our investments in the North Carolina Housing Trust Fund and the Green Square Project.

During these difficult economic times, I worked to balance our budget responsibly, while preserving essential services provided by our teachers and state employees.  I also continue to advocate for ethics reforms, improvements to our mental health system and the future of the Dorothea Dix property. You can look at a list of the bills I sponsored on the legislature’s website at www.ncleg.net. 

I am working hard for you in the General Assembly and will continue putting my experience to work for you.

House District 38 includes downtown Raleigh, part of Southeast Raleigh and part of Garner. My husband and I live in Boylan Heights in the heart of the district.

I run a grassroots re-election campaign. You may have seen me at CAC meetings, state employees' annual meetings, neighborhood and civic events, and churches. I enjoy meeting people and listening to their concerns because I care about our community.  As your Representative, I will continue to be accessible and visible throughout the District.

Please take some time to take a look at my web site and the key issues I am working on:  enhancing economic security, improving education opportunities, increasing access to health care, investing in our infrastructure, and promoting a clean and safe environment.  You can email me at debkross@aol.com about issues that matter to you and campaign activities.

The legislature will reconvene in January, 2011. You can contact me at the NC General Assembly at 733-5773 or at deborahr@ncleg.net. My office is in Room 2223 of the Legislative Building on Jones Street.  Please come and visit.

Very truly yours,

Deborah K. Ross
