In this interview, I sat down with Congresswoman Deborah Ross, ‪@deborahross4339‬ who represents North Carolina’s 2nd Congressional District, to break down how Congress works and why it matters to our daily lives. She also shares her perspective on challenges in Washington, what she loves about Raleigh, and life beyond politics.

We cover:

How Congress works & the three branches of government
How laws are made (step-by-step process)
Why Raleigh residents should care about federal decisions
Examples of federal funding directly helping Raleigh
How her office helps constituents (passports, SBA, IRS, tours)
What she loves about her job & community
Challenges in politics (civility, safety, slow process by design)
Her love for Raleigh’s culture, food, and people
What’s next for her role in Congress

This conversation is engaging, informative, and human — a reminder that our leaders are real people too.
