Ross Hancock for State House

Who am I?

I am an environmentalist and a former rural newspaper editor. I work for a non-profit (American Welding Society) where I advocate for vocational education and safe infrastructure.

Why am I running?

I am running to oppose an incumbent who is using his office to enrich charter schools that his family operates. I am unopposed in the Democratic primary.

My Goals

I will get Big Sugar on the record about why they are not paying their fair share of Everglades restoration. I will work to increase the minimum wage.

My DFA Values

This legacy campaign is missing this information

My Campaign is People Powered!

The secretary of DFA Miami-Dade is helping our campaign's canvassing-based strategy. Volunteers going door-to-door have collected the necessary petitions for us to qualify. More than a third of those petitions were signed by Republicans who are tired of what they are seeing from their leadership. Our opponent who is a sitting representative will continue to collect unlimited funds from casinos, tobacco companies, WalMart, etc., but we will get the voters to wield their electoral power. Thank you for the DFA campaign training.

About the Endorsement Process

All campaigns seeking a DFA endorsement are first required to complete the endorsement application in order to be considered. Members of the DFA Political team will review applications after submission and make endorsement decisions on a rolling basis throughout the applicable election cycle.

The driving force behind all DFA endorsements is our membership. We gauge DFA member support in a number of different ways. For starters, supporters can publicly show their support on any candidate’s application page. We also utilize endorsement decisions of local DFA groups as a measure of local community support. Finally, if you know a candidate deserving of a DFA endorsement who hasn’t yet applied, we want to hear about them! Please visit the Endorsement FAQ page for answers to frequently asked questions about our endorsement process.

If you still have any questions, or want to let us know about a candidate in your neighborhood, please call us at (802) 651-3200 or email us at [email protected] .
