David Jolly running as Democrat for FL governor in 2026--hey, he's electable

Attended a town hall for candidate David Jolly. We must DeSantisize Florida and Jolly seems (fingers crossed, don't get hopes up, we've been let down so many times...) he seems like he just might be the guy to do it. Great speaker, seems to have fully developed sense of morality and a working conscience. He smart, knows government and politics from the inside. We'll see.
