Why I Support Dennis
-
Read below why your fellow Americans, Floridians, and Citizens Support Dennis Ross for Congress.
________________________________
“He is honest, wise and smart, and he truly believes in less government and more local and individual control. Dennis has a track record to prove that he is devoted to conservative principles even when it cost him his political leadership positions and in his personal check book. He lives a life that shows that government is not the answer to every need. He has grown a successful business over the last 20 years that provides financial support for aproximatley 30 families. He understands small businesses and the importance and difficulty of budgeting to make a payroll and cover over head expenses month after month. Dennis balances his life between work, recreation, friends and family, as well as guiding our family in the importance of developing a personal relationship with God. Of course he isn’t quite perfect (:>), but I do sincerely believe that he is the absolute best person to serve as our next United States Congressman for District 12.”
- Cindy Ross

“In a time when far too many politicians go along to get along, Dennis is not afraid to take a stand or make tough decisions, regardless of the consequences. Dennis will remain true to our conservative principles in Washington, just as he has in Tallahassee. His record as a reformer is needed now more than ever.”
- Governor Jeb Bush, FL
________________________________
“I have a deep appreciation for the courage and spirit it took for Dennis to stand his ground when contentious issues arose in the Legislature. Dennis has always put the best interests of his constituents and taxpayers first. Dennis has walked the walk and not just talked the talk. Dennis has proven to be a fighter for the principles he believes in.”
- Senator Paula Dockery, Lakeland, FL
________________________________
“I know Dennis to be a strong advocate for smaller government, lower taxes, and strong defense. Dennis’ record of walking the walk for our conservative principles in the legislature speaks for itself. I am proud to join all of my colleagues in endorsing Dennis Ross and ask the voters who have supported me in the past, to support Dennis.”
- Congressman Adam Putnam, Bartow, FL

“Dennis has always been a friend to the residents of Fort Meade. Unfortunately Dennis has never been our State Representative but he has always answered the calls just like he was one of us. I know he has come down to Fort Meade for many different speaking engagements when asked. Even on holidays. I really think the residents thought he was in our district, and he represented them in Tallahassee. However, the truth of the matter is, he’s just not a politician, he is a real citizen with real concerns like all of us. Dennis has my vote for US Congress!”- Fort Meade City Commissioner, Melony Bell“Dennis has always been a friend to the residents of Fort Meade.

“Mr. Ross is an advocate of strong conservative view points and personal responsibility. He has served Florida well as a State Representative.

“I support Dennis because he is a man of principal. While in the legislature, he refused to compromise his beliefs and his standards…even if it meant going against his party. He is more interested in doing what is right than playing politics; that is refreshing and rare in today’s political climate.”
- Rev. Lynne Breidenbach, FL

“Dennis is by far the best supporter, among those running, of a strong national defense and of veterans and those currently serving.”
- Gary Clark, Colonel USAF (Ret.), Chairman, Polk County Veterans’ Council

“Dennis Ross is determined, realistic, approachable and incredibly loyal. And, most importantly, he is a man of his word. We could certainly use someone with his credentials in Washington…He evolved from being a strong businessman to a strong politician; one that would not be intimidated into voting for legislation, that he morally, ethically or financially didn’t feel would benefit the citizens of Florida. From my own personal experience, Dennis Ross is one politician that brings a whole new spirit to the term ‘walking the walk’.”

“I support Dennis Ross because he is a man of integrity. I live in Dover Florida and we are berry growers, while Dennis does not come from an agriculture back ground he reached out to me to learn about our industry and our issues. I know that he will be a champion for us when he serves the 12th Congressional District in Washington. Dennis understands the value that small businesses mean to Florida and our country. He will be our advocate in D.C.”
- Michelle Williamson, Dover, FL

“Speaking up for what is truthful, when political savvy would dictate otherwise, is the mark of a leader. Dennis Ross did exactly that as State Representative from this area, and spoke up for the best interests of the people of Florida. The price he paid was loss of all his committee assignments by the arrogant leadership of the Florida House. That’s courage. That is leadership. Dennis – we need to go to DC and remind these political insiders what personal honor and commitment looks like! GO DENNIS GO!”
- Linda Ivell, Lakeland, FL
________________________________
“Rarely do you meet someone running for office who you instinctively know has the character and internal fortitude to do the job – without equivocation, Dennis Ross is that person. It is not that he is a lawyer, business man or even a former state legislator. While those things have value, his key ingredient he is that he is one of us and he gets it. He understands what someone on the ground is going through and can relate to them on a very personal level. We all have seen what happens when you forget where you came from. Dennis is born from the stuff that makes Central Florida special. It’s time Washington is reminded just what that is.”
- Daniel A. Alvarez, Sr., Tampa, FL

“Dennis is a most excellent speaker–communicates crystal clear. His values and principles are granite solid. Having been privileged to chat with Dennis a few times, he not only talks with you (not at you) but this gentleman listens and asks questions–the RIGHT questions. Dennis Ross IS the real deal; most comfortable in his own skin, a straight shooter, perhaps the next “Great Communicator.”
- Bobby Schwab, Lakeland, FL

“Dennis Ross is a trustworthy statesman, not an opportunistic politician. Dennis clearly communicates his core conservative principles and offers examples of how he would vote on certain issues. it’s not often that a candidate will be so forthright on such a broad array of topics. Moreover, as a state legislator he demonstrated he votes based on those principles, even when it cost him political capital. I urge you to support Dennis Ross for Congress!”
- Dr. R. Joseph Childs
________________________________
“I support Dennis Ross because he is objective and thinks things through. Dennis also makes a stand for what is right even if he has to stand alone. I admire his communication skills and how he can take a complicated subject and summarize it so that the average human being can understand the issue. We need more people that have Dennis character to serve our state.”
- Kathryn Koch O’Malley, Lakeland, FL

- Ron Brown, FL

“I have had the great pleasure of serving with Dennis Ross in the Florida Legislature. I serve with Senator Paula Dockery as one of her Legislative Assistants and have come to know Dennis Ross to be a man with a strong moral compass, proven Republican foundation, and as a man who will not compromise his ethical and moral obligation. IIn all his work, his first priority is to the citizens he serves. On many occassions, I have witnessed Dennis Ross stand up for the residents of his district and most importantly, for the resident of Florida, even when his stand was not popular with leadership or special interest groups. He has remained true to his committment to serve this great State, and I am confident that he will continue this committment in the halls of the United States House of Representatives. I am very proud to know Dennis Ross and to offer my most heartfelt endorsement for his candidacy. With Warmest Regards.”

These principles are hard to find but I understood where he had got them when I met his parents. Talk about outstanding people. I fully support dennis for he looks for the best interest of people.

“Dennis represents what we need in our government leaders. No nonsense, conservative leaders who listen to the people they represent and represent their views fairly. Dennis is the right candidate that can fill the very big shoes of Adam Putnam who has done so much for our district in the past. If we can put Dennis and more people in office like him, we can take back our government and restore public confidence in our political system and in the people who lead our nation.”
- Brian Jones, Lakeland, FL
