Keith Gross: Attorney & Conservative Activist
In this episode, Keith Gross shares his journey from entrepreneur to 2024 Republican primary candidate for U.S. Senate in Florida. Drawing inspiration from Donald Trump’s outsider mentality, Gross discusses why he believes it's time to challenge career politicians and restore accountability in Washington.
He opens up about his transition from Democrat to Republican, driven by a shift in values and a desire for smaller government. Gross emphasizes the importance of direct engagement with voters, pushing for reforms in property taxes, and reducing federal overreach.
The conversation also explores the economic opportunities in Florida’s Panhandle, including the potential revival of the shipbuilding industry, and the broader need for fresh leadership that puts community first.
Gross’s story is one of political transformation, business grit, and a bold vision for Florida’s future.
