Florida Senate

Rick Scott brought a business background as the former CEO of Columbia/HCA healthcare company to politics, serving two terms as Florida's governor before winning his Senate seat in 2018 by a razor-thin margin. As senator, he has positioned himself as a fiscal conservative and frequent critic of government spending, releasing his own policy agenda that includes sunsetting all federal legislation every five years. Scott has emerged as one of the more outspoken voices in the Republican caucus, challenging party leadership on occasion and advocating for term limits for congressional leadership positions.
