RPOF Head Thrasher: 'Carroll has truly lived the American Dream'

Sen. John Thrasher of Jacksonville, the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, chimed in on GOP gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott selecting Rep. Jennifer Carroll, R-Jacksonville, for his running mate.

Jennifer Carroll will make a tremendous lieutenant governor, said Thrasher. From her decorated service in the United States Navy, to her service in the Florida Legislature, to owning and operating a small business, Jennifer Carroll has truly lived the American Dream.

Like Rick Scott and so many business owners across our state, she understands what its like to stick to a budget and to make a payroll, continued Thrasher. She also understands the tough choices elected officials must make when determining how to allocate limited government resources without increasing the burden of taxes on our citizens.

Rick Scott and Jennifer Carroll share the values of limited government and personal responsibility, values that are embraced by hard-working families across our state, added Thrasher. These values stand in stark contrast to the left-wing agenda Alex Sink and Rod Smith bring to the table with their ties to Barack Obama and the liberal Washington establishment.
