David Jolly, a former Republican U.S. Congressman in Florida’s 13th Congressional District who left the GOP amid his distaste for President Donald Trump, has now registered as a Democrat. He’s also launched a political committee, Florida 2026, ahead of what many expect to be a gubernatorial bid.
Jolly had been registered to vote without political affiliation.
He first began exploring a run for Governor last month, with meetings with Democratic clubs.
A new website launched in coordination with Jolly’s creation of a PC and his party switch. The list of issues on the site reads like a campaign platform.
