What they stand for
Ross has spent time focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Supports redistricting transparency and anti-gerrymandering measuresRoss sponsored the Redistricting Transparency and Accountability Act of 2025 (HR.5921) and the End Prison Gerrymandering Act (HR.7375), both in committee. HR.5921 addresses transparency and accountability in the redistricting process; HR.7375 targets the practice of counting incarcerated individuals at their place of confinement rather than their home address for apportionment purposes.

- 03Promotes energy infrastructure cybersecurity educationRoss sponsored the Energy Cybersecurity University Leadership Act of 2025 (HR.2980), currently in committee. The bill addresses the development of university-level programs related to cybersecurity in the energy sector and has been reintroduced in prior Congresses.
