David Jolly

David Jolly (Democratic Party) is running for election for Governor of Florida. He is on the ballot in the general election on November 3, 2026. He advanced from the Democratic primary on August 18, 2026.

Jolly (Republican Party) was a member of the U.S. House, representing Florida's 13th Congressional District. He assumed office on March 14, 2014. He left office on January 3, 2017.

In 2022, Jolly announced the formation of the Forward Party alongside former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman.[1] At the time of formation, the party said its goal was to attract a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents "who want to move past the era of divisiveness and do-nothing politicians," and it planned to recruit "solutions-oriented candidates to run for office, at all levels."[2]

The following issues were listed on Jolly's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

Stop Act: Americans wonder why we haven’t defeated ISIS, secured our border, provided health care for veterans, or balanced our budget. Here’s why. Too many people in Washington are more focused on raising money than doing the job you elected them to do. That's why, as a Member of Congress, I've introduced legislation called the "Stop Act" to make it illegal for congressmen to ask you for money.

National Security: The most solemn responsibility of the federal government is to protect its people. In order to fulfill this obligation, Congress and the President need to provide for a strong military, ensuring that our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines, and those serving in the Guard and Reserves, can count on the most advanced tools and technologies necessary. At the same time, we need to maintain and build upon our military footprint throughout the world.

Flood Insurance: Soaring flood insurance rates on residential and commercial properties have placed an enormous financial strain on residents across the country and throughout the state of Florida. As we move forward on alleviating these rising costs, I believe it is imperative that we encourage private sector solutions that will provide real and sustainable relief to owners of residential properties, business properties and owner-occupied second homes.

Seniors: Congress has an obligation to rise above partisan rhetoric and ensure that the federal government keeps its promise to seniors who rely on Social Security and Medicare. I steadfastly believe that any reform to these programs must first start with the conviction that the Social Security and Medicare programs reflect benefits earned by individuals, and those benefits must not be reduced or eliminated.

Health Care: Obamacare is a massive government program that consumes one-sixth of our economy and creates more problems than it attempts to solve. It is an unworkable and harmful law that must be repealed. The American people, not government, should decide the health care coverage that is best for them and their families. That is why I introduced the bill to repeal the harmful individual mandate in Obamacare, which for the first time in American history requires every citizen to purchase health insurance or be fined. I have also supported legislation that rescinds the employer mandate, many of the onerous taxes, and again defines a full workweek as 40 hours.
