Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio Behind Carlos Lopez-Cantera for LG

With Gov. Rick Scott naming him Floridas next lieutenant governor, Carlos Lopez-Cantera received praise on Tuesday from some of the most prominent Republicans in the Sunshine State.

"I know how important it is to choose a lieutenant governor who shares your vision for improving Florida and reforming government, said former Gov. Jeb Bush. Governor Scott's selection of Carlos Lopez-Cantera is a great pick for Floridians. I applaud Governor Scott on his choice and wish my friend Carlos the best of luck as he continues to serve the people of Florida in this exciting new position.

"Carlos is a great friend and a phenomenal choice to be Florida's lieutenant governor, said U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. I've known Carlos for three decades and have cherished his friendship and wise counsel. Throughout his service in the Florida House, he was an indispensable player in advancing a conservative agenda and fighting Charlie Crist's job-killing policies. Rick Scott has made a great decision for Florida and is lucky to have Carlos on his team.
