After leaving the 2nd District Congressional race on October 15, Ken Gross gets behind Jimmy Matlock for Congress
“I want that person that has that integrity, that has that statesman’s mentality to go up there (DC) and do what’s right for us, not what polls
tell you or not what the pundits tell you, but vote the conscience of this district – and I think Jimmy Matlock is the only candidate in this
race that will do that,” said Gross in his endorsement of Representative
Matlock.
“I am humbled by Ken’s friendship, as a longtime customer, and his support in this race for Congress. He, like me and so many others, put his neck out there as a candidate, and to have him get behind my candidacy is a true honor,” said Matlock.
