Lobbyist Turned Congressman David Jolly Joins “Weak” GOP Senate Field

Today, in response to lobbyist turned Congressman David Jolly’s announcement that he will run for the United States Senate, Florida Democratic Party Chair Allison Tant released the following statement:

“Koch-backed Tea Partiers, a no-show Lieutenant Governor with more baggage than Rick Scott’s private jet can carry, and now a Washington lobbyist. Could Florida Republicans have assembled a primary field more out of touch with middle class voters than these four? No wonder this field is already being described as ‘weak.’  

“Florida Democrats look forward to sending Bill Nelson a Democratic partner in the fight for Florida’s middle class.”
