Dennis Ross Honored by National Retail Federation

During National Small Business Week, the National Retail Federation honored U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla., as a Hero of Main Street for his work in Congress.

I am always looking for ways to get government out of the way and help small businesses be successful in a difficult economy, said Ross on Thursday. These retailers provide employment for 1.7 million Floridians. I am proud to be named a Hero of Main Street and will continue to support our job creators across Central Florida and across the state.

NRF salutes our retail advocates in Congress for their dedication and proven commitment to public policies that support prosperity on Main Street, said Matthew Shay, the president and CEO of the National Retail Federation. Retailers are the heart and soul of our communities, and we are pleased to acknowledge Rep. Dennis Ross who has consistently supported a pro-economic growth policy agenda to ensure a thriving Main Street and a healthy and vibrant retail sector in Florida.
