Rep. Ross Announced as Newest Member of the Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance on Financial Services

WASHINGTON, DC – May 23, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — The House Committee on Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance announced its newest addition today: Rep. Dennis Ross (FL-15). Ross replaces outgoing member Rep. Jim Renacci, who moved to the Committee on Ways and Means.

“I am honored to serve on such an important committee to Florida,” said Ross. “As families in the 15th District struggle to keep their homes and get back on their feet, I want to be an advocate for less government intrusion in that process. I want to be sure the Dodd-Frank Act – which was hastily passed in the wake of the financial collapse – does not place additional burdens on our property and casualty insurance industry and hurt homeowners. This committee is also poring over reforms that would protect the Federal Housing Administration – an important program to first-time homeowners – and being on this subcommittee allows me to have a seat at the table.

“I look forward to getting to work quickly with Subcommittee Chairman Randy Neugebauer (TX-19), and the other committee members.”
