Gov. Rick Scott's campaign tour stopped Thursday in Daytona Beach, where he announced continued funding for road construction and improvements in Volusia County.

Scott visited the Daytona Beach Area Convention and Visitors Bureau as part of the Republican governor's "Let's Keep Florida Moving" re-election campaign tour.

The governor said his administration will keep pumping money into transportation to get rid of traffic congestion on I-4 and I-95. Scott also gave a preview of what funding for education will be like next year — that is, if he is re-elected.

"On top of record funding for K–12, we're going to make sure this next year, we're going to have the highest funding in the history of the state per pupil for K–12 education," Scott said Thursday.

The governor says his administration has turned around Florida's economy and created 600,000 new jobs, but Scott added there's more work to be done, and his administration is investing $2.1 billion in transportation. 

"I-4, we're going continue to invest. I-95, these big arteries, we're going to continue to invest," Scott promised. "So, we can get rid of the congestion, get rid of the delays."

A big part of relieving congestion on I-4 has been SunRail, which does not extend to the coast. When we asked if Scott had plans to do something about bringing commuter rail to Central Florida's east coast if elected to a second term, he replied, "It all depends on what the local communities want. We work with them on what they want."

Scott also pointed the finger at his predecessor, Charlie Christ, the former Republican-turned-Democrat who could be his potential opponent in November, for letting Florida's space industry falter.

Scott said his administration has added $157 million to the space industry, luring high-paying jobs to Brevard County.

"We have the second most aviation/aerospace jobs," the governor said. "We will be No. 1."

The governor declined to comment on just how big his victory would be over his two Republican opponents, Yinka Adeshina and Elizabeth Cuevas-Neunder, in Tuesday's primary election.

Scott's next stop on his campaign tour is Friday morning in Panama City.
