Scott kicked off his campaign for the Senate during an in event in Orlando on Monday morning. He told his supporters that people are “flocking to Florida” because the state is “where people can live their dream in this country.” He noted that from 2006 to 2010, people are leaving Florida because they can find a job or maybe losing their house. The situation is now different in Florida.

Since Scott took office in 2011, the unemployment rate in Florida dropped from 10.7% to 3.9% in February 2018. As governor, Scott succeeded in creating jobs. On Monday, he emphasized that he will take that same mission to Washington.

Additionally, Scott called for term limits in Congress. He said. “This concept of career politicians has got to stop. We’re not going to see a change in Washington if we don’t have term limits on Congress.”
