Washington, DC- U.S. Congressman Gus Bilirakis issued the following statement in support of U.S. Senator Rick Scott’s candidacy for Senate Majority Leader.
“The American public sent a resounding message at the polls this year,” said U.S. Congressman Gus Bilirakis. “They are tired of the status quo and of policies that don’t work for them. By giving Republicans control of the White House, Senate and House of Representatives, voters have clearly demonstrated that they want to see an America-First agenda restored. There is no one better poised to help lead that transition than my friend and colleague, Senator Rick Scott. Like Vice-President-elect Vance, Senator Scott overcame humble beginnings and realized the American dream. He has an undeniable list of impressive legislative accomplishments, proving that he knows how to build coalitions of support to advance his agenda. His business acumen, leadership experience and excellent communication skills would undoubtedly prove beneficial as we work to usher in a new-era of government. Florida has become the epicenter of the brand of conservatism that has swept across the nation. The Senate deserves a forward-thinking leader who has helped cultivate those innovative ideas. Just like President Trump, Senator Scott is not a Washington insider. He is a disruptor – intent on challenging old ways of doing business that have failed the American public. He will prove to be a strong ally to President Trump and House Republicans as we strive to drain the swamp, create a strong economy, develop a future that is free, secure our nation, and build a government that is accountable to the people it represents. I urge my Senate colleagues to support his candidacy.”
