Former U.S. Rep. David Jolly hints at possible run for Governor or U.S. Senate

[RandySF]

Former U.S. Rep. David Jolly may have some bigger moves in his future.

Jolly, the U.S. Rep. for Florida’s 13th Congressional District from 2014 to 2017, indicated on Twitter Sunday morning that he’s considering a run for Florida Governor or the U.S. Senate in 2022.

A tweet from TV personality Lea Black kicked off the idea. Black, a member of the cast of The Real Housewives of Miami, tweeted that she thought Jolly should run for Governor.

1. I hope he runs for guv as an Independent

[Wounded Bear]

2. Seems to be a rare breed: a sane Republican...

3. I'm thinking Alberto Carvalho might run

Very popular right now especially in comparison to DeSantis. Both sides tried to woo him for 2018 especially Democrats toward the open FL-27. Carvalho seriously considered it but remained out. Donna Shalala got that seat instead

4. That explains why he's hitting the Botox so hard these days.

Too bad. He's a good-looking man without it. I thought at first he was trying to take off a few years to complement his young wife and new daughter, but potentially running for office makes sense too. <shallow>

6. Been hoping Florida would have a sane governor;

don't live there, but sure miss Bob Graham.

9. His daughter Gwen should be governor right now

We have only ourselves to blame for that. If party machinery were running matters, nobody would remember DeSantis' name

10. Right about DeSantis.

Can FL Dems do a decent job of it?

What was the story with Gwen? Seems I vaguely recall some 'interesting' aspects of her candidacy.

11. With a sane gov we need to offload all the right wing lobbyist infecting the house and senate.

It amazes me how the people of Florida vote to do this and that but the legislators drum up laws to block the peoples will... Felon voting rights as an example... We voted in a high speed rail system and it got analyzed to death under two terms of sCott only do die with no funding.
In Florida if a business or corporation can't make a boat load of money it won't pass...
screw the people..
YMMV, just my observations living here...

8. Sad to see foolish talk here about botox and candidates;

how about substance, folks.
