González-Colón was the first woman ever elected as Puerto Rico’s only non-voting representative in the House, and she formally endorsed Governor Scott in May by saying that “They say that hard times will always reveal true friends, and I cannot think of a better friend to the American citizens of Puerto Rico than Governor Scott.”
In a poll held before the primary elections, Governor Scott polled higher than Senator Nelson Amon Puerto Ricans, and Governor Scott was also considered better-liked and better-known among Puerto Ricans.At the press conference, Governor Scott assured that “We have worked hard to help our neighbors in need and create a booming economy that provides opportunities for every family in Florida.”
