Students can spend their money better than government can. It should not require a federal loan and decades of debt for students to get a college degree. Price limits access - plain and simple.
— Rick Scott

I've worked since I was in second grade.
My mom never went to college, but for her own children, getting a great education was not an option.

I'm not going to suggest to a delegate at what they ought to do.
The pollsters and pundits will keep trying to read voters' minds.
I love the 20 million people that live in my state and 100 million tourists.
Students who have spent their childhood here in Florida deserve to qualify for the same in-state tuition rate at universities their peers and classmates do.
My position on immigration has been clear for a long time. I believe the federal government ought to do their job. You know, secure our borders. Come up with an immigration policy that Americans understand and people who want to come to this country understand.
We want Florida to be first for jobs, and we must have a skilled workforce to reach that goal. By investing in science, technology, engineering and math education, we are ensuring our students are prepared for the jobs of the future. Our teachers are essential to preparing our students.
Faced with a deep recession, some say the answer is to expand the role of government.
Somebody's going to have to stand up to ISIS. It is a threat. When we have Americans beheaded, when we have people posing as refugees and become terrorists as in France, this is a scary time in the world.
I have recommended cutting the tax on cell phones and TVs for every Florida family so they can save around $43 a year for spending as little as $100 a month on cell phone and TV bills combined.
I believe in the traditional American family, and I will do everything that I can to promote, you know, families.
People win elections based on having the right ideas, the right plans, like my seven step plan for 700,000 jobs. That's what wins elections.
I am grateful for the lessons I learned from my parents' sacrifices. They often had trouble making ends meet, so we moved for them to find work. I remember my mom would sometimes take on second jobs, like ironing, just so we could buy groceries.
We are for freedom here in Florida.
It is appalling that President Obama would cut off federal health care dollars to Florida in an effort to force our state further into Obamacare.

I'm going to work with the Senate and the House to make sure we have a bill that lowers tuition for all Floridians.
I'm very proud that 40 sheriffs have endorsed me.

If poor people are spending their own money, it is amazing how fast they will figure out how to keep a lid on medical bills.
In the middle of the Great Depression, George Jenkins, Jr. left his job at a grocery store and decided he would open up his own store.

We know it as Publix.
My religion is very important to me.
Mom somehow made it to every one of my graduations - even when it meant she had to travel far away.

The most important thing is to tell people to go out and vote.
Jesus Christ is my savior.
I'm never going to become an expert on how you get delegates. I think what you've got to do is follow the will of voters.
I think we ought to leave the law exactly the way it is, the 14th amendment.
I believe in the principle that if you have more competition, it will drive down the prices.
We know Zika's not going to go on vacation.
I want all tuition to stop growing.
Do you want to use your tax dollars to educate more people who can't get jobs? I want to make sure that we spend our money where people can get jobs when they get out.
History has repeatedly shown that the costs of many government healthcare programs far exceed early projections.
I have made it my practice to not get involved in primaries because picking the Republican candidate is the voters' job.
