Rick Scott Releases Radio Ad in Spanish
Submitted by Kevin Derby on June 5, 2014 - 9:12am
Lets Get to Work, a group connected to Gov. Rick Scott, released a radio ad on Thursday in Spanish. The ad focuses on Scotts record and stays away from attacking his opponents.
The translation of the ad reads as follows:
What do we expect from our elected officials? That if they make a promise, they keep it. That they care about our future. That they seek ways to create opportunities. That is what Governor Rick Scott has meant for our state. He promised to create jobs. Today there are 600,000 new jobs that businesses have created and unemployment is declining.

When in September 2012 she was deputed to sell to the public the fable that the Benghazi attack was just an unfortunately vigorous movie review -- a response to an Internet video -- it could have been that she, rather than Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was given this degrading duty because Rice was merely U.N. ambassador, an ornamental position at an inconsequential institution. Today, however, Rice is Barack Obama's national security adviser, so two conclusions must be drawn.
