Statement on Lenny Curry's Endorsement by Rick Scott

Today, following Rick Scott’s endorsement of Lenny Curry, FDP Executive Director Scott Arceneaux issued the following statement:

“It’s no surprise that Rick Scott would endorse his former party boss Lenny Curry who fought so strongly to defend the Governor’s voter purge that sought to disenfranchise Florida’s minority voters. Time and time again, Curry has shown that he’s just the kind of person that Scott likes to surround himself with — a career political hack who prioritizes partisan politics over doing what’s right for the people of Florida.

“Lenny Curry and Rick Scott’s backroom dealings and assaults on Florida’s constitution represent everything that the residents of Jacksonville hate about Tallahassee’s broken politics.”
