Dennis Ross Backs David Jolly for the Senate in 2016

U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla., part of the House leadership as deputy majority whip, announced on Monday he was backing U.S. Rep. David Jolly, R-Fla., in next year’s race to replace U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., in the Senate. 

“David Jolly is a principled and thoughtful conservative and a passionate advocate for veterans and businesses across Pinellas County and the Tampa Bay region,” Ross said on Monday. “Since being elected, David has proven to be an effective representative and I am confident he will bring the same energy as the next U.S. senator from the state of Florida.”
 
“I am grateful for the support of Congressman Ross in my campaign for the U.S. Senate, as it is an honor to work alongside conservative champions like Dennis,” Jolly said. “Congressman Ross and I share a commitment to advancing conservative principles while restoring a sense of responsibility back to Washington.  It’s the conviction with which we each serve in the House and the conviction I intend to take to the U.S. Senate.”
 
“I am running on my proven record as an effective conservative who is committed to delivering results, and I hope that the people of Florida will allow me to continue to serve them by representing our state in the U.S. Senate,” Jolly added.
