Henry Ross Announces Plans for 1st District Run

Desoto Times Tribune - Ross tosses hat into First District race
Henry Ross, former mayor of Eupora, assistant district attorney and circuit court judge, has announced his plans to run for U.S. Representative in the First Congressional District.

He is expected to officially announce his candidacy after the first of the year.

Ross, a Eupora native, attorney and former U.S. Department of Justice official, will face Alan Nunnelee in the Republican primary election, in the bid to defeat incumbent Democrat Travis Childers in the general election.

"In my travels across the First Congressional District, I have found that the people want somebody who is not wanting to move up or have a second career," Ross said.

"They want a real conservative to restore God-centered government. They want someone who will fight to strengthen their family's security and someone who believes in fiscal responsibility."
