Gov. Rick Scott's campaign finance co-chair Mike Fernandez abruptly quit Scott's campaign on Thursday evening, prompting questions about the real reason behind his departure.

According to the Miami Herald, Fernandez expressed frustrations to top Scott allies and "complained about two campaign aides who had joked around in a cartoon-style Mexican accent en route to a Mexican restaurant in Fernandezs home town of Coral Gables."

Fernandez, however, said he was splitting from the campaign to spend more time with his family and businesses.

Former Ambassador Francis Rooney, who represented the United States at the Vatican, announced on Monday he was backing Florida Senate Leader Lizbeth Benacquisto, R-Fort Myers, in the Republican primary to replace former U.S. Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fla., in Congress. Rooney cited Benacquistos opposition to abortion in his endorsement.

Lets Get to Work, a group with ties to Gov. Rick Scott, released a new television ad on Monday which will hit airwaves across the Sunshine State on Thursday. The ad, which is being backed by a $2 million ad buy, hits former Gov. Charlie Crist, the Democratic favorite to challenge Scott, for supporting President Barack Obamas federal health-care law.

With the fourth anniversary of President Barack Obama signing his federal health-care proposal into law, U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla., took aim at it on Saturday.
