WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Rick Scott was honored by Americans for Prosperity – Florida (AFP – FL) with their “Pioneers for Prosperity” award. According to AFP, the award honors distinguished lawmakers who were policy champions during the 118th Congress. These leaders are on the frontlines in Congress advancing principles and policies that drive the conservative movement, while proactively opposing harmful ideas that grow the size of government and take money out of taxpayers’ paychecks. The “Pioneers for Prosperity” stood firm against ill-advised legislation that would have deepened the hardships felt by working families and worked closely with AFP in Washington as well as with grassroots communities in their home states. Representatives Byron Donalds and Laurel Lee were also honored.

Senator Rick Scott said, “I’m proud to be recognized by Americans for Prosperity, a great organization that advocates for the success of our nation’s families and businesses. For too long, families have seen their tax dollars wasted as they struggle to make ends meet under the Biden-Harris administration’s big government, big spending and inflation-fueling policies. I’m fighting every day to keep the American dream alive by bringing fiscal sanity and common sense back to Washington so it truly works for the American people.” 

AFP-FL State Legislative Affairs Director Chris Stranburg said, “Florida is fortunate to have leaders in Washington who stand for policies that put hardworking Americans first. We are thankful for these individuals who have voted for sensible reforms to keep our economy strong and government limited. Next year, we look forward to overcoming fiscal deadlines with the help of their voices."
