Rick Scott summons NYers to Florida with sky-high advertisement
Florida Congressman Rick Scott wants New Yorkers wary of life in the Big Apple under a potential Zohran Mandani administration to know they've got options.
On Saturday, an aerial advertisement with Scott's logo crossed the skies high above Coney Island, encouraging beachgoers to consider a relocation to the humid, hurricane-prone home of at least five varieties of venomous snake, should the leftist New York City mayoral front-runner win in November.
'Hate socialism?' read the banner ad. 'Us too! Move to FL.'
4 The aeriel banner was financed by Sen. Rick Scott.

Scott's airplaned pitch follows recent Times Square digital billboard ads paid for by the Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's Vivek Super PAC, which supports the biotech entrepreneur-turned-failed presidential candidate's bid to govern the Buckeye State.

It was unclear how much the flying ad cost Scott, but on average, aerial advertising in New York City runs between $7,000 and $9,000 for a two-hour flight, according to DashTwo.
A representative from Scott's office was not available to comment Saturday.
Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist who won the mayoral Democratic primary last month, is considered the frontrunner for City Hall.
