Voted nay on H.Con.Res. 14 (Establishing the Congressional Budget for FY2025) on 2025-02-26: Ross voted against the Republican budget framework that authorized $4.5 trillion in tax cuts paired with deep reductions to safety-net programs. Her district has a median household income of $92,505 — well above the national median — meaning a significant share of constituents would benefit from tax-cut extensions. Yet Ross cited the $880 billion in potential Medicaid cuts as her reason for opposition, prioritizing lower-income constituents over the median taxpayer.

Voted nay on H.R. 22 (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act) on 2025-04-10: Ross voted against legislation requiring documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration. NC-02 has a 13.2% Hispanic population and 14.3% foreign-born residents (110,000 people) who could face disproportionate barriers. While this aligned with the majority of Democrats (208-4), Ross's vote defended constituent access to the franchise in a district where immigrant communities are a growing demographic force.

Voted nay on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act — On Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendment) on 2025-07-03: Ross voted with all 212 Democrats against the bill, which nonpartisan analyses projected would cut approximately $880 billion from Medicaid and $230 billion from SNAP. NC-02 has a poverty rate of 9.84% (approximately 75,000 residents) and 14.3% foreign-born population — communities that would be disproportionately affected. Though a party-line vote, Ross's position is notable because her district's pharmaceutical/biotech sector (top-5 donor industry at $101,295) stood to benefit indirectly from reduced government pricing power in a restructured healthcare landscape.
