AUDIO CLIPS OF REPORTERS:

Deborah Ross…

Now her party's nominee for Senate…

Deborah Ross…

Led the field of Democratic candidates with more than 60 percent of that vote…

She was greeted with resounding applause, waves of applause for her as she took the stage and thanked volunteers, voters, her husband, and then went in on her goals for the future…

ROSS: As your senator, I will work hard every day to make sure that no matter who you are and where you live, if you work hard and play by the rules, then you'll have the security and the opportunity to find a job that pays a fair wage, to go to college, to afford housing, and to save for retirement. We're not a state that puts the powerful before the people. We're folks who work hard, care about their neighbors, are care about fairness.

AUDIO CLIPS OF REPORTER: Deborah Ross and incumbent senator Richard Burr will square off in November.

ROSS: After 20 years in Washington, Richard Burr has lost sight of these values, and now it's time for a change. We're going to give the people of North Carolina a real voice in Washington.
