Its time Florida has a Governor who will work for everyone. Protect voting rights. Ensure healthcare access. Strengthen public education for all. Demand equal treatment. It’s time for an Office of Civil Rights in the Governor's Office. Because rights only matter if they’re protected.

Housing, health care, and education. That’s what it’s all about. We need to make wise, responsible, lean investments in these areas to improve lives for people across Florida.

51 11

This race is about change versus more of the same. We're unifying our party and building a coalition with independents and Republicans. My friends in the GOP primary right now are like four snakes in a bag.

This campaign is about values over division. Meet Bishop Manuel Sykes, steady, principled, and knowing we need to work with people from every walk of life. A better Florida is possible. Let's build it together.

From our family to yours, we wish you a wonderful Mother's Day filled with much love and many warm memories.

This campaign is about hope, unity, and believing in what our state can become again. A Florida that leads in education and opportunity. A Florida where everyone is respected, welcomed, and heard. A Florida for all. Many thanks to Pastor R.B. Holmes for his leadership and kindness.

Some of the issues we face today are bigger than politics - they're a reflection of who we are as a people. We'll never make America great again if we don't make America good again. It's a joy to work alongside Escambia Commissioner Lumon May in this campaign. Hear his story. Join us today.

A new generation of Floridians is speaking up and ready for better. They’re tired of division, culture wars, and politics that leaves people behind. They want dignity, opportunity, and real results. The message is simple: Florida can be better, and together we’ll build it.

This is a generational moment for our state. What we do now matters more than ever. Let's go all in and build Florida's next chapter together.

Laura and the kids provide the personal strength behind this campaign. I'm blessed and grateful everyday.

77 17

Laura and I continue to tell our kids, "when you have a chance to change the world, you take it." That's what this race for Governor is all about. Thank you for your continued support of our family throughout this campaign.

There's going to be one story this November: that Florida Democrats built a coalition the state has not seen in a generation - big enough to include independents and Republicans, strong enough to fight for all Floridians. This is a coalition of change-makers.

I speak often on the trail about my faith. Not to evangelize, but because its central to who I am. Happy Easter to those who celebrate. To those of other faiths, or no faith at all, our diversity and shared values are the heartbeat of this campaign. Thank you for your kindness.

We can choose a cleaner future, or double down on risk. Expanding drilling threatens our coasts, our economy, and our way of life. The smarter path is protecting what makes Florida, Florida.

84 21

For years, Florida agreed: protect our coast. Now that line is being pushed, hard. More drilling. Closer to shore. We know exactly what that leads to. And once it’s gone, it’s gone. This isn’t just bad policy. It’s a risk Florida cannot afford.

96 29

I wanted to take a moment before tonight’s fundraising deadline to explain why it’s so important. Democrats just won two special elections here in Florida, and momentum continues to grow. Together, we can win the Governorship in November and lead Florida with courage. But I need your help.

50 11

Enough ideologues. More science. Fire the Surgeon General. It's that simple.

88 23

Thank you, Congressman Raskin, for inspiring Florida. And my friend is right, we’re going to win this governor’s race in November.

Incredible day in Ft. Myers and Estero, where thousands turned out defending democracy and demanding change!

One of the best parts of this campaign is having real conversations with Floridians about the challenges we face. Our leaders have abandoned public education. Voters across the state know it’s wrong. Time for a 10 year renaissance in public education.

96 29

Whether we’re talking to Republicans, Independents, or Democrats, this campaign’s values stay the same: the economy should work for everyone, government can improve our lives, and everyone’s rights should be protected.

404 104

We're leaving it all on the field in this campaign. Florida has enourmous challenges that demand bold solutions and new leadership. Thanks for being part of building a new political coalition in Florida. Let's get it done.

65 17

From Pensacola to Palm Beach, St. Augustine to St. Petersburg, my message is the same: Floridians deserve change. We’re ready to end the culture wars, bring down costs, and build a better Florida. Join us.

69 22

This moment is bigger than party. It’s about whether we're working to improve people’s lives. Where things are working, let's continue them. But where they're not, let's be bold enough to redefine our politics and just solve problems.

85 18

Floridians are ready for change. In red, blue, and purple communities across this state, we’re putting partisanship aside and talking real solutions to real problems. Everybody matters. This November, let’s believe in better.

84 26

This election is bigger than a campaign. It’s a test of who we are. And from large town halls to small meetings, Floridians are telling me the same thing: we’re ready to rise to something better.

78 19

From rising costs to culture-war politics, Floridians are feeling the pressure. And everywhere we go, one message keeps coming through: people want change.

83 29

After countless town halls, one truth stands out: Florida is in a movement moment. We're angry about the economy, exhausted by culture wars, and we've lost faith in our leaders. But in every room, I see people who believe in better. Join us. Believe with us.

78 22

This Women’s History Month we honor the women who shaped Florida’s story and recommit to the work ahead, so every woman across our state has the freedom, dignity, and opportunity to lead.

75 16

This moment is bigger than one candidate. If Florida voters say “not anymore” in November, we'll have built a coalition that hasn't existed in American politics in a generation.

163 55

Thanks to those who continue to show such kindness to our campaign. This race is about lifting voices across the state, building community, and yes showing our kids that we each need to do our part to change the world.

82 18

Today we launch a new weekly video series from the Florida trail. The work, the people, the coalition we’re building, and the opportunity ahead. A coalition bigger than party. A moment that could redefine American politics. This is the work. Join us.

72 28

Grateful to have my friend and former Congressman Patrick Murphy with me as we talk polls, the path to victory, and what winning Florida means for the country.

89 22

A new poll shows us LEADING the race for Florida Governor. Our message is breaking through and Floridians are ready for change. Chip in now to keep up the momentum and flip Florida blue.

107 19

Do you believe the economy should work for everyone, the government can improve people’s lives, and everyone's rights should be protected and their dignity celebrated? I do. It’s a simple question at the core of this campaign. Join us.

48 15

It's not enough to remember the darker chapters of our past, we have to realize the darker chapters of our present. This moment in history is bigger than politics, this is about who we are and what we intend to leave to our children.

98 27

As Governor, I’ll empower local law enforcement leadership to determine how best to create safe communities – not force ICE Agreements on them. The Governor's job is to ensure Florida law enforcement has resources, not tell them how to lead their job.

80 19

Florida’s Surgeon General wants to end vaccine requirements, but we can do something about it. As Governor, I’ll fire the Surgeon General on Day One. Let's bring back science, data, math, and support public health throughout our state. Join us!

Huge news from Texas last night for Democrats – and Florida is next! If you believe in better, join me right now: https://davidjolly.com/

There are three values our campaign is built on: the economy should work for all, government should improve people’s lives, and people from all walks of life should be celebrated and their rights protected. Regardless of party, this is how we turn the corner as a state. Join us.

Between the economy and the events in Minnesota, the White House would be wise to keep Donald Trump at home and not out on the road. He's brought chaos to our country and is sinking downballot Republicans in the midterms. I see it every day in our Florida Governor's race.

75 18

This evening I joined @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social to talk about what happened at the hands of ICE in Minnesota this weekend and to reiterate that this moment matters to all of us, across the country – and that we must choose the right side of history.

It’s important we go out to every community and corner of our state and listen firsthand to our neighbors. Join our coalition for a brighter future: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/david-jolly-web?refcode=web

James Fishback is emerging as a formidable Republican candidate, but his undisguised racist comments are deliberate, offensive, and beneath this state. I'm asking all candidates running for FL Governor to join me in condemning his statements. Let's all commit to a better vision for Florida.
