In response to Senator Rick Scott voting against a bipartisan plan to avoid a government shutdown, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesperson Maeve Coyle issued the following statement:
“Time and again, Scott has pushed our country towards a devastating government shutdown that would disrupt the services Floridians rely on, instead of joining Republicans and Democrats who voted to keep the government open. Scott refused to do his job, has made it clear he’ll always put his petty, self-serving politics over what’s best for Florida, and has given Florida voters another reason to fire him in November.”
The DSCC previously launched an advertising campaign highlighting how Scott’s government shutdown would threaten Social Security and raise costs.
