Gov. Rick Scott is officially the Republican nominee for Florida governor, easily beating two challengers in the primary Tuesday night.

Scott did not speak publicly Tuesday, opting instead to watch the results at a private event in Miami.

Scott issued this statement following his win:

“The next few months are about talk versus action. That means Florida will have a choice between a governor who sent our state into a tailspin and a governor who gets results. Charlie Crist failed as governor, lost 830,000 jobs, and tried to run off to Washington – and now he wants his job back. We’ve come a long way in the last few years, but there’s plenty of work left to do. Let’s keep working."

Scott is quickly turning from tonight's primary race to November's big rival. The governor traveled the state Tuesday, with stops in Tampa, Orlando, Naples and Palmetto Bay (just south of Miami).

The message throughout Scott's campaign Tuesday was clear: He's not going after his Republican primary rivals. Instead, he's looking ahead to his potential November rival.

One of Tuesday's stops included an area in east Orange County, where Scott thanked all of his supporters and assured them a big win. He then sat down and made a few phone calls to thank volunteers who went door-to-door drumming up support as the Scott campaign eyes reelection.

Scott on Tuesday never made any mention of his rivals from the Republican side of the race. Instead, when he took questions from reporters, he looked to the November election and attacked former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who is now a Democrat.

Earlier this week, Scott announced increased funding for education — a move that reminded most that when Crist was governor, he actually slashed jobs and budgets.

"As we turned our economy around, we now have record funding for K-12 education, record funding for state colleges, record funding for the universities," Scott said. "A year ago, we gave all our teachers an opportunity for a pay raise. We also put out a proposal for per pupil funding to the highest on record."
