First Ad of the 2014 Race for Governor
March 27th, 2013 by Mike VasilindaThe 2014 Governor’s race is now officially underway. Governor Rick Scott released his first campaign ad on Facebook this week. The video shows Scott speaking to a group of factory workers… talking about how much the economy has improved since he’s been in office.
“There’s a stunning contrast between the economy I inherited and the economy today. As you know the four years before I became governor the state had lost 832-thousand jobs. Unemployment had tripled from 3.5 to 11.1 percent” says Scott, who met with reporters after attending a jobs announcement in Jacksonville.
The ad could be a direct shot at former Governor Charlie Crist, who is expected to enter the race as a Democrat. Scott was asked about the race on CNN Wedesday morning and said it wasn’t about 2014,, but about reminding Floridians how far the state has come. He repeated his mantra that he wants every family “to have a job”.
