While Crist took his vote to the polls Monday morning, he motivated others to make sure they do the same.
“I need everybody to get out and vote, we need everybody to get out and vote, it’s so critically important, this race is close, don’t believe what you hear, this race is close, they’re always tight in Florida we know that so the only way we can affect it positively is make sure you vote,” said Crist.

When asked about his opponent, Governor Ron DeSantis, Crist said he was not handling the aftermath of Hurricane Ian very well
“He’s not very smart, and has distracted, he’s not paying attention to Florida, he’s paying attention to his own future, that’s why he went to New York this weekend, he’s trying to campaign for president, we deserve a governor who cares about our state and cares our people and will help them first, that’s why I am running to be your governor, is to help you,” said Crist.
“This is home, there’s no place like home, lets light it up right here at home, cast all those ballots lets go win this thing, god bless you, thank you,” said Crist.
