LISTEN.
PROTECT.
UNITE.

“I’m not a career politician — just a Hilton Head Island resident and airline pilot running for Town Council in Ward 4.”

Rick Ross Stands For:

Uniting
Our Community

Bringing people together to build a stronger Hilton Head.

Listening to Every Resident

Every voice matters, and every resident deserves to be heard.

Protecting What We Value

Preserving our neighborhoods, character, and quality of life.

Respecting Property Rights

Protecting homeowners through fair, reasonable, and consistent policies.

Supporting Businesses & Workforce

Helping local businesses thrive and supporting those who serve us.

About Me

I’ve called Hilton Head Island home for over 20 years. My connection to this island goes back even further — my parents first brought me here in the early 1980s.

As an airline pilot, I’ve seen hundreds of cities around the world. But no place feels like home the way Hilton Head does.

I’m not a career politician. I’m a regular resident who wants to listen, protect what makes our island special, and help bring our community together.

My Priorities

Listening to Every Resident

Good government starts with listening. Every resident deserves to be heard, regardless of their viewpoint.

Public Safety

Keeping residents and visitors safe is a top priority. We need practical solutions that address real concerns without delay.

Bringing Our Community Together

Too often our local government divides us. We can do better by finding common ground and working together for what’s best for Hilton Head.

Property Rights

Residents and property owners deserve fair treatment and respect. Local decisions should protect the property rights of those who call Hilton Head home.

Supporting Local Businesses

A healthy local economy supports jobs, families, and the overall strength of our community. We should make it easier for local businesses to succeed.

Limited & Accountable Government

Local government should stay focused on solving real problems for residents — not grow larger or more complicated than necessary.

Protecting Island Character

Hilton Head’s natural beauty, neighborhoods, and unique feel are what make this island special. We must protect what makes it home.

Traffic & Infrastructure

Congestion continues to grow. We need realistic, common-sense solutions that improve traffic flow and mobility for the people who live here.

Responsible Growth & Development

Growth should enhance our community, not overwhelm it. Development decisions must respect our infrastructure, environment, and quality of life.
