New Rick Scott ad urges voters to ‘think again’ about Bill Nelson’s independence

Bill Nelson ad

Gov. Rick Scott, the presumptive Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, urges Florida voters to “think again” when it comes to an ad claiming Sen. Bill Nelson is an “independent” voter in the Senate.

“Nelson votes with Democrats over 90 percent of the time,” the digital ad released Tuesday by Scott for Florida asserts.

“He voted with Obama to cut billions from Medicare,” the ad continues.

The ad also noted Nelson’s vote against last year’s Republican tax reform package, and the Senator’s recent about-face on backing judicial nominee Allen Winsor.

“Bill Nelson isn’t fighting for Florida,” concludes the narrator. “He’s only fighting for Democrats.”

This digital spot is the latest ad in an unrelenting barrage of Scott ads against Nelson.
