Jennifer Carroll, GOP Lt. Gov. candidate
After winning the Republican nomination for governor, Rick Scott told confidantes that he wanted a female running mate with a strong law enforcement-type background.
He picked a black female from Jacksonville, who is retired from the US Navy.
She is state Rep. Jennifer Carroll, a Jacksonville-area Republican who is the former secretary of the Florida Veteran Affairs Department.
According to her Florida House bio, she enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1979 and served for 20 years. Scott is also a Navy veteran, He served on active duty aboard the USS Glover as a radar person.
Carroll worked as a jet mechanic and retired as a Lieutenant Commander Aviation Maintenance Officer with the standard assortment of Navy medals.
Carroll, the second African-American woman picked as a Republican lieutenant governor nominee, may help Scott balance his ticket.
Scott is running against Democrat Alex Sink, who is the state’s first female Chief Financial Officer and the Democratic and the gubernatorial niminee.
Scott is hopping that Carrol will help him in South Florida. His anti-immigration stance in the primary has hurt him in Broward or Dade counties that have heavy Hispanic populations.
