Teachers make a difference, and we would serve our students better by focusing on attracting and retaining the quality teachers by raising teacher pay.
-
I have a proven record, a record of accomplishment, a record of cutting taxes, of shrinking the government, of reforming education, of challenging the status quo, eliminating career civil service protections, shrinking the government workforce by 11 percent, but leading the nation in job growth.
-
We need to end the government monopoly in education by transferring power from bureaucracies and unions to families. The era of defining public education as allegiance to centralized school districts must end.
-
I'm a conservative - a practicing one. I'm not a talk-about-it one.
-
You have to remember that in a state like Florida, independent voters will decide the election.
-
There should be a path to earned legal status for those that are here. Not - not amnesty - earned legal status, which means you pay a fine and do many things over an extended period of time.
-
Traditional marriage is what should be sanctioned.
-
I try to have my voice be heard, but not on a regular basis on TV.
-
We are stronger because we recognize that government isn't the sole answer to the most important questions, and we welcome community and faith based organizations as partners to serve the needs of Florida families.
-
Our economy grew at double the rate of the nation. We created 1.3 million jobs. We led the nation seven out of those eight years. We were only one of two states that went to AAA bond rating. I cut taxes, $19 billion. If you do that and apply conservative principles the right way, you create an environment where everybody rises up.

Life teaches you that you need to make decisions in the right time - not too early, not too late.
-
The GOP should be the GSP: the Grand Solutions Party. It should be about solutions, not talking points.

We've created rules and taxes on top of every aspiration of people, and the net result is we're not growing fast, income is not growing.
-
I think my dad's post-presidency, he didn't miss a beat. He didn't get into any kind of 'Woe is me.' He dusted himself off and led an incredible life since 1993.
-
If you believe, like I do, that the world is abundant with possibilities, then we need to make sure we build capacity so that everybody is successful or can be successful in the pursuit of their dreams - not the dreams of someone from government, but their own dreams.
-
In a divided government, you can't just say, 'It's my way or the highway.'
-
I have a voice: I want to share my beliefs about how the conservative movement and the Republican party can regain its footing, because we've lost our way.
-
I support high academic standards. Period.
-
I believe that the great majority of people coming here illegally have no other option. They want to provide for their family. But we need to control our border.
-
My record as a pro-life governor is not in dispute. I am completely pro-life, and I believe that we should have a culture of life. It's informed by my faith from beginning to end. And this not just as it related to unborn babies - I did it at the end of life issues as well. This is something that goes way beyond politics.
-
Florida is a place of unparalleled diversity of backgrounds, experiences and vision. It makes our culture unique, but it can also make it difficult to define a common identity and create a sense of community that reaches beyond our neighborhoods to all corners of our state.
-
I don't miss politics.
-
I will support the Republican nominee.
-
My guess is my brother would call his mom and his dad pretty regularly, a lot more than I probably did.
