While working in the Senate for over a decade, Sen. Bill Nelson (D) has repeatedly fought to protect health care in the Sunshine State. Nelson has a long record of fighting against measures to “defund” Planned Parenthood, standing up for protections for people with pre-existing conditions, and supporting measures to help families with low incomes afford health care. In fact, he has a 100 percent perfect score on the Planned Parenthood Action Fund Congressional Scorecard.

Rick Scott, the current governor of Florida, is a close ally to President Donald Trump and a notorious opponent of reproductive rights. Scott has spent the last seven years as governor blocking his constituents from accessing health care –– pushing legislation that banned abortion, signing a bill that would have “defunded” Planned Parenthood, and refusing to expand Medicaid.
Why We Don't Support Rick Scott
-
He signed a bill to “defund” Planned Parenthood in Florida
-
He’s signed several dangerous abortion bans into law and wants to overturn Roe v. Wade
-
He teamed up with Vice President Mike Pence to campaign against the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
