Congressman Ron DeSantis made another campaign stop in Pensacola on Oct. 12, 2015. He was running for U.S. Senate.Rep. Kevin McCarthy had dropped out the race to be House Speaker, opening the door for Paul Ryan. DeSantis planned to vote for fellow Floridian Rep. Daniel Webster.DeSantis said,  "The American people are hungry for Washington to go in a different direction. I think we need to just elect leadership who's going to be committed to changing Washington and to making good on the promises that we made to the people who elected us."How did DeSantis describe himself: 'I'm a guy who really has lived the American dream by coming from a blue collar background and yet graduating from working my way through both Yale and Harvard and not only that but coming out more Conservative than when I went in, which is not easy to do. "I also volunteered to serve in the Navy, and I didn't get anything for schooling or any of that. I did it because I thought it was important to serve the country, volunteering to serve in Iraq, continuing to serve in the Navy Reserve.             "I think people will like that profile, but then I think they'll also look and say this is a guy that says what he means and does what he says, and he's got a very consistent, strong, Conservative record.
