i want to thank our wonderful lieutenant governor-elect, jeannette nunez. now, when we started the campaign and jeannette got on the ticket, she was kind of our secret weapon but i think now, her force and presence has been witnessed by the entire state, and people know that we are getting a special woman to be our lieutenant governor. and she will be, when she takes office, the highest ranking hispanic female in the history of the state of florida. i would also like to thank governor rick scott for his leadership as governor. we have an awful lot of opportunities in florida particularly building a stronger economy, and that is in large part due to the hard work of rick scott for eight years, focusing on bringing florida's economy back. it's never been better. we haven't reached our potential. that's what i'm going to work on doing. but governor scott has done a great job for the people of the state of florida. finally, i would like to thank our president for standing by me when -- for standing by me when it wasn't necessarily the smart thing to do. mr. pre
