He was first elected Congressman in the 2018 elections. HistoryRoss Spano was born in Tampa, and graduated from Brandon High School. He later attended the University of South Florida, where he graduated with a degree in history in 1994, and the Florida State University College of Law, receiving a law degree in 1998. Florida House of RepresentativesIn 2012, following the reconfiguration of the Florida House of Representatives districts, Spano ran in the newly created 59th District, and faced Joe Wicker, Betty Jo Tompkins, and Mike Floyd in the Republican primary. He emerged victorious with 40% of the vote, with Wicker close behind having 38% of the vote. Spano ran in the general election against the Democratic nominee, Gail Gottlieb. Spano refused to meet with the Tampa Bay Times editorial board, which endorsed Gottlieb.[1] The Tampa Tribune also endorsed Gottlieb.[2] Spano defeated Gottlieb with 51% of the vote, coming out ahead by 1,051 votes.[3] In the Florida House of Representatives, Spano serves on the Choice and Innovation Subcommittee, Civil Justice Subcommittee, Health Quality Subcommittee, Higher Education & Workforce Subcommittee, and Judiciary Committee. While serving in the legislature, Spano authored human trafficking legislation, sponsoring a bill to allow judges "to vacate certain criminal convictions if the offender can prove that they committed them under duress," as would happen in a situation in which someone had been illegally trafficked.[4] In 2017, Ross Spano sponsored a resolution declaring that the viewing of pornography was causing a "public health crisis.”[5] News media pointed out in response that Ross Spano's Twitter account had liked a pornographic video depicting two women engaged in oral sex. Spano defended himself stating that "it will be easy to see that this is not my doing."[6][7][8][9][10][11] US House of RepresentativesRoss Spano was elected to the House of Representatives representing Florida's 15th congressional district in 2018. During Spano's election to the House of Representatives in 2018, he loaned his campaign more than $100,000 from what he reported as personal funds - a move that drew media attention as financial disclosures forms filed by Ross Spano indicated that he did not have the necessary funds to loan himself the reported amount. Later reporting revealed that he had in fact been lent the money by personal friends.[12][13] In December 2018, Ross Spano admitted in a news release that his campaign financing "may have been in violation of the Federal Campaign Finance Act".[14] In response, Neil Combee—a Republican whom Spano defeated in the congressional primary where he also utilized the same financing—described Spano as a "criminal".[15] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tampabay.com/opinion/editorials/for-a-better-florida-house/1257108|title=For a better Florida House|date=October 18, 2012|accessdate=May 7, 2014|work=Tampa Bay Times}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://tbo.com/list/news-opinion-editorials/gottlieb-cruz-and-harrison-for-state-house-523599|title=Gottlieb, Cruz and Harrison for state House|date=October 6, 2012|accessdate=May 7, 2014|work=Tampa Tribune}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.saintpetersblog.com/archives/103010|title=Ross Spano "excited" to have Dem contender for District 59 race|date=June 26, 2013|accessdate=July 3, 2014|work=St. Pete Times]]}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/human-trafficking-issue-rises-to-the-forefront/2115701|title=Human trafficking issue rises to the forefront|date=April 18, 2014|accessdate=May 7, 2014|work=Tampa Bay Times|first=Caitlin|last=Johnston}} 5. ^http://floridapolitics.com/archives/245140-ross-spano-files-bill-declaring-pornography-florida-public-health-crisis 6. ^https://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2017/09/20/twitter-account-of-florida-lawmaker-whos-trying-to-declare-porn-a-public-health-crisis-liked-a-porn-clip 7. ^https://www.newsweek.com/florida-republican-ross-spano-pornography-668683 8. ^https://www.indy100.com/article/ross-spano-florida-republican-porn-watch-twitter-like-7959291 9. ^http://sunshinestatenews.com/story/porno-ross-spano-and-hypocrisy 10. ^https://www.thedailybeast.com/anti-porn-gop-lawmaker-likes-twitter-porn-video-on-twitter 11. ^https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/porn-fighting-republican-twitter-lesbian-sex-clip-article-1.3511671 12. ^https://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2018/11/05/so-where-exactly-did-ross-spano-get-more-than-100000-in-his-bid-for-congress/ 13. ^https://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2018/11/02/missing-ross-spanos-financial-disclosure-required-to-run-for-congress/ 14. ^https://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2018/12/01/ross-spano-acknowledges-possible-violation-of-campaign-finance-law/ 15. ^[https://www.ajc.com/news/national-govt--politics/new-florida-gop-lawmaker-draws-scrutiny-over-illegal-election-fundraising/loOZYv9r23C34wp1s5SaVK/ New Florida GOP lawmaker draws scrutiny over illegal election fundraising], Atlanta Journal Constitution External links
