Public Defender Investigator Turned Politician?

ADVERTISEMENTS

I wish I could say this was me but out of Florida, comes this little nugget of golden news about a Public Defender Investigator (Chief) running for state office!:

Jake Ross, chief investigator for the Public Defender's Office, has announced his
candidacy for the District 27 seat in the state House of Representatives. He is
a Democrat.
The seat is being vacated by Joyce Cusack because of term limits.
Ross, 63, is a lifelong Volusia County resident, born in DeLand. He has lived in Daytona Beach since 1986.
Ross was a DeLand police officer, a private investigator and an investigator for the state attorney before joining the Public Defender's Office. He holds a bachelor's degree from Bethune-Cookman College (now Bethune-Cookman University) and a master's in criminal justice from St. John's University.
Pledging to be a voice in Tallahassee for the local people, Ross said he plans to fight for lower taxes, better education, protection of seniors and reduction in juvenile crime. This is Ross' first campaign for elected office.

For the most part, I'm not a big fan of politicians but fellow Public Defender Investigator, Jake Ross isn't a lifetime politician so I'm throwing 100% of my totally useless support behind him! I'd put a link to his website but unfortunately, I don't think he has one yet.

A message to all voters in the Volusia county....

GIVE JAKE ROSS A CHANCE!

VOTE ROSS ON AUGUST 26, 2008!!!
