“Truth” and “Blind” detail how Scott has used his position as governor to enrich himself and why Floridians can’t trust him to tell the truth.
Today the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is releasing two new digital advertisements, “Truth” and “Blind,” both highlighting how Rick Scott is prioritizing his own self-serving politics at the expense of Floridians.
“Truth” details Scott’s long record of misleading Floridians to advance his own agenda, and “Blind” shows how Scott may be using his position as governor to enrich himself through a secretive financial account, his so called blind trust.
“Rick Scott has only ever looked out for one person: himself,” said David Bergstein of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “In order to advance his agenda Scott’s shown he’ll mislead Floridians, abuse his position as governor to make himself richer, and help his political donors and cronies at Floridians’ expense. He’ll say and do anything to benefit himself, which is why Floridians just don’t trust Scott to look out for them.”
More information about Scott’s record is available here.
