Congressman Dennis A. Ross will make three appearances across Hillsborough County on Monday, March 7, announcing his plans to run for reelection.
Ross, a Lakeland native, was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 2000 and to the United States House of Representatives in 2010. In the summer of 2014, he was selected as the Senior Deputy Majority Whip.
"As someone born and raised in Central Florida and the Tampa Bay region, it has been the honor of a lifetime to represent our community in Congress, " Ross said. "Since being elected, I have worked tirelessly on behalf of Floridians to secure the border, strengthen our national security, reduce federal spending, lower taxes and protect the American Dream. The issues we will face over the next two years will be some of the most important to our nation’s future. That is why I will be announcing my campaign for reelection next Monday, asking for the support of our community, so that I can continue to take my strong conservative convictions to our nation’s capital.”
Ross will be appearing in Plant City, Lakeland and Clermont on Monday, March 7. He also will make an appearance Monday night at the Florida Strawberry Festival.
