Overview

• The aerial banners reading “Hate Socialism? Us too! Move 2 FL” and “WE HAVE BETTER BEACHES” are flying over Coney Island and other city shorelines through the weekend
• Scott described the campaign as a “friendly reminder” that Florida offers jobs, safe communities and world-class beaches in contrast to socialist policies
• The ads directly target supporters of Democratic Socialist mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani by framing his platform as a reason to relocate
• The messaging taps into Florida’s role as a refuge for families fleeing socialist regimes in Cuba and Venezuela
• This stunt marks the latest escalation in Scott’s long-running anti-socialist strategy, which began with his May 2023 travel advisory warning left-leaning visitors
