Is Representative Stephen Ross serving you and your family?
Since 2022, State Representative Stephen Ross has voted in ways that directly affect your life.
Harming Our Students and Educators
Representative Ross voted to shortchange public education. His vote makes it harder for Alamance Burlington School System to meet its basic needs. (SB 257 [2017])
Ross is making it impossible for teachers to educate students about important issues, such as racism and sexism. (HB 187 [2023])
Ross voted to give tuition money to wealthy families. (HB 823 [2023])
Blocking Our Healthcare
Representative Ross blocked Medicaid expansion for years. He lost Alamance County $159 MILLION and cost us over 800 jobs as a result. (HB 966 [2019])
Representative Ross also believes we can’t make our own healthcare decisions. He voted to ban abortion after 12 weeks, with few exceptions. (SB 20 [2023])
Because of Ross, you have to go to an in-person clinic three times — if you can even find a clinic near you — to access abortion.
Messing with Our Money
Representative Ross voted to increase the maximum interest rate you pay on major purchase loans to 33% — costing you more with every payment. (SB 331 [2023])
Ross also voted to make it more expensive to buy cars on installment plans. (SB 329 [2023])
Ross fails to advocate for raising the minimum wage, which is stuck at $7.25/hour. Alamance County residents need at least $15.41/hour to survive. (https://livingwage.mit.edu/counties/37001)
Making it Harder to Vote
Ross voted to limit early voting, making it harder for you to get to the polls. (SB 325 [2018])
Coming soon - Representative Ross will have a chance to vote on a GOP bill to:
Shorten the deadline for returning your mail-in ballot.
Add regulations that make same-day registration and voting more complicated. (SB 747 [2023])
