The NBRA congratulates Florida State Representative Jennifer Carroll who was selected by Rick Scott, the Republican nominee for Florida’s governor, to be his running mate. A 20-year U. S. Navy veteran and small business woman with over seven years of experience in the Florida legislature, Rep. Carroll is a superb choice to be Florida’s first black Republican lieutenant governor. She is the Florida House Representative for District 13, which is in Jacksonville, and is the first black Republican woman to be part of a statewide ticket in Florida.
