The following issues were listed on Ross' campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

Federal Spending and Debt : We have made some important progress on reducing federal spending since I have been in office. For the first time since the Korean War, total federal spending has gone down multiple years in a row. Also, we’ve cut the deficit by two-thirds since I was elected.

Taxes: People can’t afford for Washington to take any more of their hard-earned money. Rather than bailing out Washington with another tax increase, Congress should work hard to ensure Americans keep as much of their paychecks as possible to spend and save as they see fit.

Obamacare: ObamaCare was sold to the American public with a number of false promises. I support repealing ObamaCare in its entirety - including all the tax increases and mandates that come with it.

Veterans: My father and three brothers served our great nation in the military. As a country, I believe we must support our men and women who have sacrificed and fought for our freedom.

Seniors: Congress must work to ensure that the federal government continues to fulfill the promise it made to Senior Citizens who worked hard their entire lives with the understanding that Medicare and Social Security would be there for them in their retirement years. We must preserve, protect, and strengthen these programs so that they are available for current seniors and for generations after.

Ross' campaign website listed the following issues:[119]

Spending & Our Nation's Debt

Excerpt: "Our nation continues to spend way more than it takes in each and every year. With our national debt topping $15 trillion, Washington needs to show real leadership by passing a BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT to our Constitution. This is the only effective way to make politicians cut spending and rein in government waste. "

Job Creation

Excerpt: "For years, “Jobs and the Economy” has been the issue of each and every political campaign. The simple answer to what Washington can do to create jobs is “get out of the way”."

Protecting Seniors Social Security and Medicare

Excerpt: "Keeping our promises to seniors is a top priority for anyone who is elected to serve in Washington. As your Representative, I will make fight to make Medicare solvent for this generation and generations beyond as well as making sure Social Security is there for the millions of seniors who paid into the system and depend on their benefits."
