WRC - US Senator Rick Scott
2022-11-11 11:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Naples Hilton, 5111 Tamiami Trail North, Naples, FL, 34103
Rick Scott was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2018 and is currently serving his first term representing the state of Florida. Prior to his election to the U.S. Senate, Rick Scott served two terms as the 45th Governor of Florida, working every day to turn around Florida’s economy and secure the state’s future as the best place for families and businesses to succeed.
Rick grew up in public housing in the Midwest. His adoptive father, a World War II veteran and truck driver, and his mother, a store clerk, struggled to financially support their family. After marrying his high school sweatheart, Ann, Rick joined the Navy, where he served active duty as a radar man aboard the USS Glover. He used the G.I. Bill to attend the University of Missouri, Kansas City, and eventually opened his first business – a donut shop. Rick went on to run the world’s largest healthcare company and continues to fight every day so families across the state can have the same opportunities he had to live the American dream.
Rick Scott knows firsthand that a good paying job is one of the most important things for a family. Following Florida’s economic collapse ten years ago, he successfully championed more than $10 billion in tax cuts and cut thousands of burdensome regulations that led Florida businesses to create nearly 1.7 million new jobs. Under his leadership the unemployment rate dropped from 11 percent to 3.3 percent, Florida paid down $10 billion in state debt, and record investments were made in what matters most to Floridians – education, the environment and public safety.
Rick and his wife, Ann, have been married for 50 years and have two daughters, Allison and Jordan, six grandsons and one granddaughter.

The Mission BBQ Story
“MISSION BBQ opened its doors for business on September 11, 2011. Ten years after our world changed forever, in some small way we wanted to change it back.
As the founders of MISSION BBQ, we strive every day to remind everyone what makes Our Country great—its heroes.
Who are we? Two friends passionate about BBQ, patriotic for Our Country, and who believe in running a business with meaning and purpose.
We believe there is nothing more American than BBQ. And nobody more American than the brave men and women who have sworn to protect and serve Our Communities and Our Country. We do what we do for the love of our soldiers, firefighters, police officers, first responders—all our loved ones in service.
We set across this great land from Texas to Kansas City, the Carolinas to St. Louis…to discover the secrets of great BBQ.
Every day we strive to serve you authentic BBQ made from the freshest, most delectable ingredients, and serve it to you in a patriotic dining room filled with tributes to those who’ve made Our Country great, given to us by the people who earned them. Stop by at lunchtime, and you might catch us during our daily salute to the Stars and Stripes.
We don’t do any of this because we have to. It’s because we want to.
At MISSION BBQ, we are Proudly Serving Those Who Serve. Come help us complete Our Mission.” Bill & Newt

MISSION BBQ with over 109 locations including over 20 in Florida will be opening in Naples in 2023 at 5795 Airport-Pulling Road in the Promenade at Naples Centre. MISSION BBQ will have a 121-seat capacity. There are 2 locations in Lee County; in Ft. Myers and Cape Coral.
Bill a True Patriot will join us and share his vision of what he has created- A restaurant concept dedicated to soldiers, police officers and other first responders; a business that serves, honors and thanks American heroes. It is more than just a restaurant; MISSION BBQ becomes a part of the community! “The American Way” tagline promotes MISSION BBQ, which pauses at noon every day as employees and patrons stand for “The Star Spangled Banner”
If you are not familiar with MISSION BBQ watch this Video:

MISSION BBQ believes in Giving Back- “At MISSION BBQ, we’re right there with you helping out with time, service, fundraising and great food to fuel those extra efforts. Through the generous support of our loyal customers and communities we serve, more than $10 million dollars and counting has been donated for national and local charitable organizations. It’s the right thing to do, and we really believe in these National missions.” We also get involved in the local organizations that support our Mission. The Fort Myers location is very involved with the Gold Star Mothers. Bill is looking forward to opening MISSION BBQ and serving the community of Naples.
