NAPLES, Fla. – Today, Senator Rick Scott was joined by Florida veterans at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7721 for a press conference highlighting the “Veterans for Rick Scott” coalition. The coalition consists of more than 250 veterans from across Florida who support Senator Scott’s re-election. These veterans, some of whom are now elected officials, have worked with Senator Scott to ensure Florida military members, veterans, and their families have access to the benefits they deserve. When he’s re-elected, Senator Scott will continue fighting to make Florida the most military and veteran-friendly state in the country.

Congressman and U.S. Army Veteran Greg Steube said, “I am honored to endorse Senator Rick Scott’s re-election to the U.S. Senate. Senator Scott has always been a staunch supporter of our military, veterans, and their families. As Governor, he invested billions in Florida military members and veterans to expand their access to much needed services. In the Senate, he serves on the Armed Services Committee where he fights for our veterans to ensure they have access to the care that they deserve. I have no doubt that he will continue to support us when he’s re-elected.”

Florida State Representative and U.S. Army Veteran Mike Giallombardo said, “As United States Army veteran who was deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, I fully support Rick Scott for re-election. Senator Scott is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and he is fighting for enhanced benefits, improved access for veterans’ services, and working to ensure our military members have resources available for a smooth transition to civilian life. I also had the honor of working with him to assist some of our interpreters in Afghanistan during Biden’s failed exit strategy. This country needs more veterans like Rick Scott in the Senate who truly understand what it means to serve this great country.”

U.S. Air Force Captain Wayne Smith said, “Senator Rick Scott has always been a strong ally of our military and veterans. As a veteran himself, he knows what it takes to serve our country and live the American dream. In the Senate, he’s fighting to ensure our veterans have access to the benefits we earned. I am proud to endorse Senator Scott’s re-election campaign.”
