Statement from Congressman Ted Deutch on Rick Scott Announcement

In response to Rick Scott’s announcement today, Congressman Ted Deutch released the following statement:

“It was 612 days between Pulse and Parkland and Rick Scott did nothing to address gun violence. Time after time when tragedy strikes in Florida, Scott points fingers instead of addressing the real issues. Scott has shown that he will do or say anything to get elected – and his candidacy for US Senate is no different. Floridians can’t trust Scott to look out for anyone but himself – and they can’t afford another 6 years of his leadership.”
