Scott Picks African-American Lawmaker as Running Mate in FL Gubernatorial Race
(Black Politics On The Web) — Republican gubernatorial nominee Rick Scott named Jacksonville state Rep. Jennifer Carroll as his running mate Thursday. Carroll, 51, is a U.S. Navy veteran and mother of three who in 2003 was the first black female Republican elected to the Florida Legislature. If elected with Scott, she’ll become the state’s first black lieutenant governor. Carroll was being introduced in a news conference in front a Blue Angels jet on display at Naval Air Station Jacksonville.
