Democrats' Chances of Winning Florida Governor Election Get Big Boost: Poll

This new poll makes it clear: we’re in striking distance of winning this race.

There’s a massive shift happening in our state. I see it everywhere I go. After decades of one-party Republican rule, we have an enormous opportunity to deliver the change Floridians need.

Florida is home to some of our nation’s leading colleges and universities, but too many of our families are locked out of these flagship universities.

We need to set Florida’s students up for success.

This Florida Democrat Is a Test for the Party's Appeal David Jolly is running an underdog campaign that may just succeed where other Democrats have failed.

The Florida governor's mansion has been occupied by a Republican for over 30 years. Can David Jolly change that?

Byron Donalds, Paul Renner both hold edge — barely — over David Jolly in poll from James Madison Institute Donalds leads in the fight for the GOP nomination — unless Casey DeSantis jumps in.

🚨 Second poll in 3 weeks has FL Governor's race a pure toss-up.

We can win this race. Join us!

More than half of Miamians can barely make ends meet, new report finds Shirley Phinzee blinked wearily under the fluorescent lights of a Miami Wendy’s. She had slept in her car the night before, as she has nearly every night since January.

54% of Miamians are considered “ALICE” – asset-limited, income-constrained, employed.

Simply put, they’re living paycheck to paycheck.

We cannot allow our communities to live like this. Florida needs change and real solutions to our affordability crisis. https://bit.ly/3KIo9Lp

40 current, former Broward leaders back David Jolly for Governor, citing cross-aisle appeal ‘David Jolly is the candidate who can energize Democrats, appeal to independents and common sense Republicans.’

I’m ready to take this momentum and continue to build our base, mobilize voters, and create a brighter future for Florida.

It's happening right before our eyes. The cabinet and the Congress could do something about it, but they won't. We're in perilous times defined by an historic failure of our Republican political leaders. The courts and the ballot box remain our only strategy.

The spirit of democracy is alive in Tampa—what a night.

It was an honor to share the stage with Representative Fentrice Driskell and @therickwilson.bsky.social to answer your questions, discuss the challenges we face, and what we can do to solve them.

Analysis Says Florida Is Most Expensive State For Homeowners Insurance Florida has made some gains in reducing homeowners insurance costs in recent years. But the state still has the most expensive premiums for coverage in the U.S., according to a new realtor.com analysi...

Florida has the highest homeowner insurance rates in the country — most homeowners pay over $4,000/year.

My plan to alleviate this is simple: we need to build a state catastrophic fund that would remove natural disasters from private insurance policies.
