I celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act on the House floor. While we've made significant progress, let’s continue working together to end the abuse that women have faced for far too long.

America relies on scientific innovation for economic growth & progress, and I’m so proud that much of that innovation occurs right here in the Research Triangle. That’s why I sent a letter to President Biden urging him to designate a National Science Day.

AI has the potential to enhance the lives of our people, but it also poses serious security threats. That's why I'm proud to introduce legislation with Rep. Don Beyer to regulate and track AI risk incidents and better mitigate threats. ross.house.gov/2024/9/ross-be…

It was great to meet with members of TechNet yesterday. We had a productive discussion on the innovation economy, AI, and how Congress can help create a 21st century workforce.

The PACT Act provided relief to individuals exposed to contaminated water while serving at Camp Lejeune. But of the 500,000+ claims filed, few have been settled & none have gone to trial. Our veterans deserve better. More in my op-ed w/ Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D.⬇️ rollcall.com/2024/09/26/jus…

Glad to see our bill pass out of Science Committee Democrats! Congress cannot afford to be behind the curve when it comes to AI and ensuring the proper guardrails are in place to mitigate risk.
