Carlos Lopez-Cantera, introduced Tuesday morning as Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s new lieutenant governor, said in an interview with the Herald/Times that he wanted the job “to get back in the game” of Tallahassee politics.

Scott ended a 10-month guessing game by choosing Lopez-Cantera, 40, who served in the state House for eight years before winning the appraiser’s position in a nonpartisan county-wide election.
