Self-serving Rick Scott has opposed common-sense bipartisan legislation like the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that would fund law enforcement and address gun violence in Florida and across the country. “In the Senate, Rick Scott has fought against policies that protect our communities from gun violence. In fact, he’s pushed for plans that would make us less safe,” said Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. “Scott has opposed bipartisan legislation to address this epidemic, putting the gun lobby’s priorities before the safety of our children.

Florida deserves a leader who will take a stand to make our communities safer and address crime – something Rick Scott has proven he is incapable of.” In the Senate, Rick Scott has built a long record of opposing common-sense reforms that would make our communities safer. He’s instead pushed for legislation that would make it easier for criminals to carry and purchase dangerous guns:
