By Oliver Willis - October 31, 2018
David Jolly voted for Democrat Andrew Gillum for Florida governor, despite serving in Congress alongside Ron DeSantis.
Republican former congressman David Jolly, who represented Floridas 13th district from 2014 to 2017, said he voted for Floridas Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum, not fellow Republican Ron DeSantis.
Ive turned in my ballot. I voted for Andrew Gillum. The reason is simple: its because Ive served with Ron DeSantis, Jolly told the Tampa Bay Times.
Jolly also said he believes other Republican voters are backing Gillum as a way to repudiate Trump.
Ive spoken to Republican voters who under-voted in the 2016 presidential race because they couldnt bring themselves to vote for Hillary Clinton. But this go-round, theyre bringing themselves to vote for Andrew Gillum, he explained.
