Rose stated that Specialty’s purpose was to "buy, sell, develop and invest in a variety of real estate ventures and investments." Beyond that, Rose said he would not elaborate. “The business of Specialty Group is my 'family secret,' a secret that will be kept — as allowed by applicable law — for at least another 50 years.” Between Oct. 1 and Oct. 11 2012, the Knoxville, Tenn.-based company contributed nearly $5.3 million to the conservative super PAC FreedomWorks for America. By Election Day, that amount increased to almost $10.6 million. Sixty-one-year-old attorney William S. Rose Jr., serves as Specialty’s CEO, president and general counsel.
