A short list of rankings that show U.S. Rep. Dennis A. Ross (R-FL-15th) to be either the “most conservative” Congressman in the House of Representatives – or, at least, very close. (Compiled by myself, Gordon Wayne Watts, LAKELAND, Fla., USA., today, Monday, 04 April 2016)


“Congressman Dennis Ross (R-FL) is currently ranked the most conservative Member of the House from Florida, according to our Legislative Scorecard. He first came to Congress thanks to the Tea Party wave of 2010, and has continued to live up to the conservative ideals he ran on.”

“I had met Ross a few weeks earlier in his Capitol Hill office with a different sort of dissection in mind. National Journal had recently ranked him and nine other Republicans as the most conservative House members, and I wanted to see what made one of the most conservative members of the most conservative, powerful freshman class in the history of the House of Representatives tick.”
