David Jolly (Forward Party) is a former Republican member of the United States House of Representatives representing Florida's 13th Congressional District. Jolly served from 2014 to 2017.[1][2][3] He was sworn into office on March 14, 2014.[4]

Jolly lost his re-election bid in 2016. He was defeated by Democrat and former Governor Charlie Crist in the general election. Florida's 13th Congressional District race was rated as safely Democratic in 2016. He initially planned to run for election to the U.S. Senate from Florida.[5] However, Jolly dropped out of the race a week before the filing deadline. He said that he expected incumbent Marco Rubio (R) to run for re-election, and that he did not want to run against him.[6]

In 2022, Jolly announced the formation of the Forward Party alongside former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman.[7] At the time of formation, the party said its goal was to attract a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents "who want to move past the era of divisiveness and do-nothing politicians," and it planned to recruit "solutions-oriented candidates to run for office, at all levels."[8]

Trade adjustment assistance
Yea3.png On June 12, 2015, the House rejected the trade adjustment assistance (TAA) measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015—by a vote of 126-302. Trade adjustment assistance (TAA) is a federal program providing American workers displaced by foreign trade agreements with job training and services. The measure was packaged with trade promotion authority (TPA), also known as fast-track authority. TPA is a legislative procedure that allows Congress to define "U.S. negotiating objectives and spells out a detailed oversight and consultation process for during trade negotiations. Under TPA, Congress retains the authority to review and decide whether any proposed U.S. trade agreement will be implemented," according to the Office of the United States Trade Representative. Jolly was one of 86 Republicans to vote in favor of TAA.[15][16]
Trade promotion authority
Nay3.pngOn June 12, 2015, the House passed the trade promotion authority (TPA) measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015—by a vote of 219-211. TPA gives the president fast-track authority to negotiate trade agreements sent to Congress without the opportunity for amendment or filibuster. Although the House approved TPA, it was a largely symbolic vote given the measure was part of a package trade bill including trade adjustment assistance (TAA), which was rejected earlier the same day. Jolly was one of 54 Republicans to vote against the measure.[17][18]
Trade promotion authority second vote
Neutral/Abstain After the trade adjustment assistance (TAA) and trade promotion authority (TPA) did not pass the House together on June 12, 2015, representatives voted to authorize TPA alone as an amendment to HR 2146 - Defending Public Safety Employees' Retirement Act on June 18, 2015. The amendment passed by a vote of 218-208, with all voting members of the House maintaining their original positions on TPA except for Ted Yoho (R-Fla.). Jolly was one of six Republicans who did not vote on the amendment.[19][20]
Trade adjustment assistance second vote
Yea3.png The House passed HR 1295—the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015—on June 25, 2015, by a vote of 286-138. The Senate packaged trade adjustment assistance (TAA) in this bill after the House rejected the TAA measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015. Along with trade promotion authority (TPA), which Congress passed as part of HR 2146—the Defending Public Safety Employees' Retirement Act—TAA became law on June 29, 2015. Jolly was one of 111 Republicans to vote in favor of HR 1295.[21][22]

It does not provide budget authority, which is provided in subsequent appropriations legislation."

Issues

Presidential preference

2016 presidential endorsement

✓ Jolly endorsed Jeb Bush for the Republican primary in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.[58]

See also: Endorsements for Jeb Bush

Jolly has not decided if he will endorse or vote for Donald Trump. On May 2, 2016, when asked if he will vote for Trump in November, Jolly said, “So, I’m gonna tell you something you rarely hear in elected official say, I don’t know. I truly don’t know. Here’s why, if you’re asking me in April my position on Donald Trump in November, I don’t know what Donald Trump is going to be standing for in November. So I’m certainly not going to take a position five or six months out. You know when Donald Trump made his call to ban all Muslims, I went to House floor and called on him to drop out of the race. I have strong reservations about some of Donald Trump’s solutions to some of the security issues we face as a country. Those are real reservations. Now, I will tell you I also have strong disagreements with Secretary Clinton over her view of foreign policy. So, I think like a lot of Americans, we are gonna have to begin to spend the summer studying the candidates and decide who’s best for the future of the country. ... I’m a Republican, and I hope we can find a conservative leader that would alter some of the course where our current president has taken us. Whether Donald Trump is that person, I am no way prepared to make that decision in April.” His campaign later clarified that he will not vote for Clinton.[59]

Immigration reform

When asked about immigration reform at a debate on February 25, 2014, Alex Sink replied, “Immigration reform is important in our country. It’s one of the main agenda items of the beaches chamber of commerce, for obvious reasons. Because we have a lot of employers over on the beaches that rely upon workers and especially in this high-growth environment, where are you going to get people work to clean our hotel rooms or do our landscaping?...And we don’t need to put those employers in the position of hiring undocumented and illegal workers.”[60]

Jolly responded at a news conference on February 27, 2014, “I think Alex Sink’s comments reflect a bigotry that should disqualify her from representing the people of this community and should disqualify her from serving in the United States Congress. I think it was a disgusting comment.”[60]

Noteworthy events

Formation of the Forward Party (2022)

See also: List of political parties in the United States

On July 27, 2022, Jolly announced the formation of the new, national political party, the Forward Party. The party was formed through a merger of three groups: the Serve America Movement, of which Jolly was the executive director at the time; the Forward Party, created by Andrew Yang; and the Renew America Movement. Yang and former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman became the party's first co-chairs. At the time of the announcement, the party set a goal of achieving legal status and ballot access in 30 states by the end of 2023, and in all 50 states by the end of 2024.[61]

As of March 2023 the party listed three platform priorities on its website:[62]

  • Free People: Revitalize a culture that celebrates difference and individual choice, rejects hate, and removes barriers so that each of us can rise to our full potential.
  • Thriving Communities: Reinvigorate a fair, flourishing economy and open society where everyone can live a good life and is safe in the places where we learn, work, and live.
  • Vibrant Democracy: Reform our republic to give Americans more choices in elections, more confidence in a government that works, and more say in our future.[63]

Feud with the NRCC

In January 2016, Jolly announced that he would stop personally fundraising for his Senate campaign. He argued that members of Congress spend too much time fundraising and not enough time focusing on doing their jobs as elected officials. Jolly even introduced legislation that would prohibit members of Congress from personally raising money.[64]

As a result of this legislation, Jolly appeared on an episode of 60 Minutes which aired on April 24, 2016. Jolly described the fundraising process for members of Congress on the show. Jolly said, "We sat behind closed doors at one of the party headquarter back rooms in front of a white board where the equation was drawn out. You have six months until the election. Break that down to having to raise $2 million in the next six months. And your job, new member of Congress, is to raise $18,000 a day. Your first responsibility is to make sure you hit $18,000 a day." In addition, an anonymous staffer helped the program get inside the Republican fundraising center with a hidden camera.[64]

In response to Jolly's television appearance, the NRCC wrote a letter to 60 Minutes discounting Jolly's claims. The letter stated that "Jolly describes a with the NRCC where he was told he was required to raise $18,000 each day through fundraising calls. Simply put, this meeting never happened. It is a work of fiction." The letter also accused 60 Minutes of trespassing.[65]

Fatal accident (1989)

On February 24, 2014, Jolly acknowledged that as a teenager, he killed a pedestrian in a car accident in 1989.[66]

Jolly said of the accident: “It took several years for me to get to a place of peace, but not something anybody would ever get over.”[66]

Jolly was defeated by former Governor Charlie Crist (D) in the general election on November 8, 2016. Jolly defeated Mark Bircher in the Republican primary on August 30, 2016.[67][68][69][70][71][72]

Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Jolly's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Stop Act: Americans wonder why we haven’t defeated ISIS, secured our border, provided health care for veterans, or balanced our budget. Here’s why. Too many people in Washington are more focused on raising money than doing the job you elected them to do. That's why, as a Member of Congress, I've introduced legislation called the "Stop Act" to make it illegal for congressmen to ask you for money.
  • National Security: The most solemn responsibility of the federal government is to protect its people. In order to fulfill this obligation, Congress and the President need to provide for a strong military, ensuring that our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines, and those serving in the Guard and Reserves, can count on the most advanced tools and technologies necessary. At the same time, we need to maintain and build upon our military footprint throughout the world.
  • Flood Insurance: Soaring flood insurance rates on residential and commercial properties have placed an enormous financial strain on residents across the country and throughout the state of Florida. As we move forward on alleviating these rising costs, I believe it is imperative that we encourage private sector solutions that will provide real and sustainable relief to owners of residential properties, business properties and owner-occupied second homes.
  • Seniors: Congress has an obligation to rise above partisan rhetoric and ensure that the federal government keeps its promise to seniors who rely on Social Security and Medicare. I steadfastly believe that any reform to these programs must first start with the conviction that the Social Security and Medicare programs reflect benefits earned by individuals, and those benefits must not be reduced or eliminated.
  • Health Care: Obamacare is a massive government program that consumes one-sixth of our economy and creates more problems than it attempts to solve. It is an unworkable and harmful law that must be repealed. The American people, not government, should decide the health care coverage that is best for them and their families. That is why I introduced the bill to repeal the harmful individual mandate in Obamacare, which for the first time in American history requires every citizen to purchase health insurance or be fined. I have also supported legislation that rescinds the employer mandate, many of the onerous taxes, and again defines a full workweek as 40 hours.
