Ross Campaign Email

I hope that this week has been as exciting for you as it was for our campaign. We are continuing to gain strength and momentum heading into the March 11 primary.

On Wednesday, we received some very exciting news. The Home Builders Association of Mississippi endorsed our campaign. I am thrilled to receive the support from this group. Home builders are an integral part of our local economy. Just last year, they were responsible for over 36,000 jobs in Mississippi. Construction is a very large part of local economic development. Home builders are an important part of our state, and I am grateful for their support.

The Castle Doctrine, which I led the charge for in the Senate, allows Mississippi home owners to protect and defend their property. As a gun owner, I firmly believe in the personal rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment. As your Congressman, I will protect the rights' of gun owners. I am very proud of the Caste Doctrine legislation and will continue to be an advocate for gun owners when I represent you in Washington.

This past week, we made campaign stops in Lake, Philadelphia, Meridian, Ridgeland, and Newton. We also attended events at the Mississippi Coroner-Medical Examiner Association's Winter Conference, the Mississippi Association of Supervisors Mid- Winter Meeting, the Mississippi Business Journal Top 40 Under 40 Luncheon, the Madison County Republican Executive Meeting, and the Ridgeland Chamber Annual Banquet. I would like to thank all of these groups for allowing me the opportunity to visit with them. We received an overwhelmingly positive response while on the campaign trail. One of the best parts of campaigning is meeting the great people of Mississippi.

We need your help. If you have not already done so, please consider making a financial contribution. Even more importantly, please talk to your friends and neighbors. If you need a yard sign or literature, please contact the campaign office, and we will see that whatever you need is delivered.

Hope to see you soon,

Charlie Ross
