Gov. Rick Scott appointed Carlos Lopez-Cantera Lieutenant Governor in 2014. He was a member of the Florida House of Representatives from 2004-12 and then became the Miami-Dade property appraiser. He ran for U.S. Senate in 2016 but then dropped out.
Fact-checking journalism is the heart of PolitiFact. Our core principles are independence, transparency, fairness, thorough reporting and clear writing. The reason we publish is to give citizens the information they need to govern themselves in a democracy.
