McCollum Endorses Rick Scott

Florida's Republican Attorney General Bill McCollum is urging voters to cast their votes for Rick Scott in the upcoming gubernatorial election.

McCollum had narrowly lost to Scott in the hard-fought GOP primary.

On Friday, McCollum issued the following statement:

“Florida is facing a critical time. Our state needs conservative leaders who will grow our economy and create jobs. We need merit pay and an end to teacher tenure in our public schools, major litigation reform, smaller government, low taxes and a repeal of Obamacare. With this in mind, I will cast my vote for Rick Scott for governor. It’s the better choice for Florida.”
