Miami’s Community Newspapers proudly endorses Senator Rick Scott for re-election to the U.S. Senate in 2024. Senator Scott’s life story exemplifies the American Dream, and his commitment to serving the people of Florida remains unwavering.
Raised in the Midwest by a hardworking mother and a World War II veteran father, Senator Scott understands the values of perseverance and dedication. His journey began with humble roots, living in public housing and taking on his first job at just seven years old. He has never stopped working since. After serving in the Navy aboard the USS Glover, he continued his education at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and purchased his first business, a donut shop, to provide his mother with a job. This entrepreneurial spirit carried him through a successful career in business, including leading the world’s largest healthcare company.
In 2010, Senator Scott decided to run for Governor to change Florida’s trajectory. As the 45th Governor of Florida, he delivered on his promise to create jobs, far surpassing expectations. Under his leadership, Florida businesses added more than 1.7 million jobs, making the state a hub for economic growth and opportunity. His commitment to cutting taxes, reducing regulations, and advocating for pro-business policies saved Floridians more than $10 billion over his two terms. Senator Scott also prioritized education, law enforcement, and infrastructure, ensuring that Florida remained a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
Now serving in the U.S. Senate, Senator Scott continues to fight for Floridians, focusing on reducing government waste, returning money to taxpayers, and advocating for policies that support working families. His dedication to protecting Social Security and Medicare, securing the border, and holding government agencies accountable has earned him recognition for his effective constituent services.
Senator Scott’s willingness to stand up to his own party when necessary demonstrates his commitment to doing what is right for Florida. Last year, he even challenged Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to ensure that Republicans remain steadfast in their support of policies that benefit working families.
As Senator Rick Scott seeks re-election, we believe he is the right choice to continue representing Florida in Washington. His proven track record, dedication to Florida families, and vision for a stronger America make him an exceptional advocate for our state. We encourage our readers to support Senator Scott as he works to build a brighter future for all Floridians.
