Brian Sandoval Praises Rick Scott's Economic Record

With Floridas state unemployment rate dropping to 6.1 percent in January, the Republican Governors Association (RGA) sent out Gov. Brian Sandoval, R-Nev., to praise Gov. Rick Scotts record.

"Rick Scott and I were elected in the midst of the Great Recession in 2010 when each of our states faced some of the most challenging economic times they have ever known, Sandoval said on Monday. Unprecedented unemployment, budget deficits and foreclosures were issues that both Floridians and Nevadans confronted with hard work, sacrifice and optimism.

Today, Nevada and Florida lead the nation with the largest improvement in unemployment, Sandoval added. I congratulate my friend Rick Scott as he leads Florida's economic comeback."
