WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Rick Scott released the following statement last night reacting to President Trump’s State of the Union Address.

Senator Rick Scott said, “I was honored to join Andy Pollack tonight to hear the President’s vision for building a brighter future for our country. Since my first day as Governor, I fought to rebuild Florida’s economy so that every child could have the opportunity to succeed in our state. I was glad to see the President express his dedication to continuing to build on that economic progress.

“At a time when Washington is more dysfunctional than ever, we are reminded of what can be accomplished when we put the needs of American families above partisan politics. As a businessman, results are what matter to me, and I remain optimistic that we can work together to Make Washington Work more efficiently for the families in my state.”

In case you missed it, Senator Rick Scott appeared on FOX News yesterday to discuss the State of the Union and ongoing negotiations to keep the government open and secure the border. Watch the clip below.
