The conservative group Americans for Prosperity is commenting on the current race between term-limited Governor Rick Scott and Senator Bill Nelson, and they’re making it clear that they think Senator Nelson is not fit to continue in the Senate. Aiming to “encourage voters to remove Bill Nelson from office,” Americans for Prosperity declared in a news release that “Bill Nelson has a record filled with contempt for qualified jurists, support for a broken health care system, and an affinity for the tax and spend philosophy synonymous with D.C.’s swamp culture.”
They continued by adding that Nelson’s “empty rhetoric for moderate policy making is overshadowed by decades of contradictory action. AFP-FL’s hallmark grassroots teams will mobilize across the state to educate Floridians about his broken promises and failed agenda to encourage citizens to vote Bill Nelson out of office.”
Chris Hudson, AFP-Florida’s Director, commented that “Senator Nelson’s failed agenda has offered voters the same song and dance for decades and like a broken record it’s time to throw him out. He said he wanted to reform our broken tax code, but he voted against allowing hard-working Floridians to keep an extra $2,000 per family. He said he wanted to fix D.C.’s out of control spending, but he’s a fixture of the D.C. swamp culture that has expanded the federal government, ballooned our national debt, and continues to promote the government’s unprecedented encroachment into our healthcare. Floridians must vote against Bill Nelson in the upcoming election.”
