After receiving the endorsements, Dennis Ross said,

“To have the support of leaders like Sam Johnson, Ed Smith, and Bob English is both gratifying and humbling. Gratifying because they represent the very best of Polk County and know her citizens well. Humbling because Commissioners Johnson, Smith, and English are such capable conservatives, Republicans, and community leaders that I can only hope to serve in Congress with as much honor and distinction. I want to thank them for their trust and support. I look forward to working with them in Congress to build a better Polk County and a more prosperous 12th District.”
