In a recent statement to Orlando Local News, Gross articulated he is running for Senate to foster a "culture of freedom" from Washington:

"These are dark and dangerous times for much of our world. Career politicians are asleep at the wheel, and the American people are paying the price. If we fail to get America back on track, we may lose our nation for good.

"Now is not the time to continue sending do-nothing politicians to Washington so that they can line their own pockets. We MUST elect bold, conservative leaders who will disrupt the business as usual politics that are sending our nation into a decline we may never come back from.

"We have developed a culture of FREDOM in Florida. I am going to make sure we take that same culture to  the US Senate."

The battle for the GOP Senate nomination in Florida is sure to be closely watched as Gross aims to unseat the incumbent Senator Rick Scott, promising a vigorous defense of the principles that define the Sunshine State and the nation at large.
