Description | Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Lakeland, told his staff this morning he is retiring.
"Eight years takes its time on you. When you feel like a stranger in your hometown, it's time to say, 'There's got to be an exit strategy at some point,' " Ross said in an interview, noting he planned on serving 10 years, or five terms.
Ross, 58, said he wants to spend more time at home, with two sons getting married within the year and cited the grind of travel to and from Washington and having to constantly raise money.
