Statement by Speaker-Designate Dean Cannon on the Scott/Carroll Republican Gubernatorial Ticket

Orlando – Speaker Designate Dean Cannon (R-Winter Park) released the following statement today commending Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott’s selection of State Representative Jennifer Carroll as his running mate.

“Having served with Jennifer Carroll in the Florida House for the last six years, I know her to be a committed conservative who, like Rick Scott will stand by the values of lower taxes, limited government and personal responsibility.

“Jennifer is a lifelong public servant whose record of military and legislative service, combined with her experience building and operating a small business, makes her an ideal choice for this important post during this historical time in our state.

“Jennifer can relate to the business owner who strives to build a successful company, the service member who’s just returned from a tough deployment, or the working families who’ve on numerous occasions trusted her to be their voice in Tallahassee.

“I am energized by the strength and depth of our Republican ticket and looking forward to working hard to make sure Rick Scott and Jennifer Carroll are elected this November.”
