Can David Jolly Flip Florida for Democrats?
Jolly is betting frustrations with inflation, rising food costs and expensive insurance will help Democrats break Republicans' three-decade hold on the Governor's Mansion. He's telling voters a Democratic gubernatorial victory is possible.
In other words, he wants them to believe.
Since entering the race in June 2025, Jolly’s core message at town halls, meet-and-greets and media interviews has been that Republican leaders in Tallahassee have ignored the financial pressures working people, retirees and young professionals face.
