Dennis Ross Takes Aim at Dodd-Frank

Florida Republican U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross has a new committeeassignment This week, with U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci, R-Ohio, winning acovetedspot on the Ways and Means Committee, Ross took the seat he left open on the House Committee on Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance. With his new assignment in hand, Ross took aim at the controversial Dodd-Frank reforms.

I am honored to serve on such an important committee to Florida, said Ross. As families in the 15th District struggle to keep their homes and get back on their feet, I want to be an advocate for less government intrusion in that process. I want to be sure the Dodd-Frank Act which was hastily passed in the wake of the financial collapse does not place additional burdens on our property and casualty insurance industry and hurt homeowners. This committee is also poring over reforms that would protect the Federal Housing Administration an important program to first-time homeowners and being on this subcommittee allows me to have a seat at the table.
