Former Gov. Jeb Bush was in Homestead Friday to campaign for Gov. Rick Scott. But, knowing a good earned media moment when she sees one, 
Miami-Dade Commissioner Lynda Bell, former mayor of Homestead, got a well-timed photo op for her own re-election bid.
Bell dropped by the B&K Installations, a company that builds custom-made greenhouses, where Bush was stumping with Scott. Also there: State Rep. Holly Raschein (R-Key Largo) and a councilman from one of the south end towns who Ladra does not recognize (that’s him in the middle with his hands behind his back).
Friday morning’s event focused on Scott’s message as a job creator. “In three-and-a-half years, over 622,000 jobs and last month over 2,100 private sector jobs,” Scott told reporters at the event.
Bush, who joined Scott for the first time on the campaign trail, boasted about how Scott would join him as the only other Republican guv to serve for two terms if he is re-elected.
“Rick Scott is going to be reelected,” said Bush. “And join me, by the way, as the only other republican governor to have been reelected in Florida’s history.”
But none of the news organizations there reported what was said by Bell, who spoke at the event and has also been citing jobs creation and her support of small businesses as one of her reasons to re-elect her.
Even Jeb and Raschein seem disinterested in what she has to say, since they’re engrossed in their own conversation.
