Kent had the opportunity to sit down with former U.S. Congressman and the new Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Southeastern University, Dennis Ross.  During his time in the U.S. legislature, Congressman Ross worked on numerous initiatives relating to veterans affairs, national security, education, economics, and government operations. He was also the Senior Deputy Majority Whip under Majority Whip Steve Scalise.  Recently it was announced that former Congressman Ross will be spearheading the American Center for Political Leadership, a new think tank that I’m proud to say is based in Lakeland, Florida. They discussed a variety of topics ranging from the recent government shutdown and the possibility of a second shutdown to why he stepped away from politics and his belief in the next generation of leaders.
