DSCC Communications Director Justin Barasky released the following statement on lobbyist turned Congressman Jolly’s announcement that he will seek the Republican nomination in the Florida Senate race:
“Lobbyist turned Congressman David Jolly is just the latest out-of-touch Senate candidate to throw his hat into the crowded GOP Florida Senate primary, and after bouncing back and forth between Capitol Hill and the plush hallways of lobbying firms, he’s angling for a promotion. Congressman Jolly’s candidacy takes the situation for Republicans from bad to worse as they are now staring down a five person primary in one of the most important states for them to defend.”
