Former Republican U.S. Rep. David Jolly will run for Governor as a Democrat, he announced recently.
The move has been anticipated since at least late March, when Jolly said he was mulling a run. It became clear an announcement was imminent in April when he registered as a Democrat.
“We’ve got bold ideas that Republicans simply won’t do anything about,” Jolly told Florida Politics.
“What I like about being a Democrat is, I get to accept math. Elected Republicans are never honest about math and the math never works out,” he added, referring to talks about reducing property taxes.
