Deborah Ross, who is running for the U.S. Senate seat in North Carolina against Republican Richard Burr, understands all too well that the best way to create new jobs for working families is by rebuilding the state’s crumbling bridges and roads, especially after the havoc wreaked by Hurricane Matthew.
As a former state representative in the North Carolina state House, she led the efforts for investing in public transportation and the state’s roads, schools, and water and sewer systems. She also pushed to attract companies to North Carolina, to keep high-paying jobs in the state and to raise the minimum wage. She wants to continue these efforts by representing North Carolinians in the U.S. Senate.
