Congressman and Florida gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds (R-FL) released a blistering ad attacking opponent David Jolly on his 'far-left' Democratic policies.
The ad starts off with an apparent Jolly saying he "approves this message" regarding his political stances, including Second Amendment rights.
"Who cares about some of the finer points of the Second Amendment? We just have to crush the culture of gun ownership," Jolly says. "I think we need dramatic, ambitious gun control laws in the United States."
In addition, Jolly gave an answer on if he would limit the use of fossil fuels.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes," Jolly says in response to a person's question.Â
Jolly also gave his thoughts on school choice. Jolly called for a reinvestment into Florida's education system in August 2025.
"I think we need to greatly constrict our school choice program," Jolly states.
Furthermore, Jolly indicates his support for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) across Florida's public universities. Gov. Ron DeSantis, who Jolly is looking to succeed, signed a bill prohibiting institutions from using state or federal funds to support DEI programs in 2023.
"Let's return to a state university system that believes in diversity and equity and inclusion," Jolly argues.Â
Jolly also expresses his support for gender ideology.
"The reality is Jesus is a loving God who would support the trans community," Jolly argues. "We embraced it. We sought the right pathways, the medical pathways, the gender affirming care."
Moreover, Jolly voices his support for boys in girls' sports. The topic has again come into the spotlight after WNBA guard Sophie Cunningham defended keeping men out of women's sports and locker rooms in an ESPN interview in July.
"We can be supportive of them to allow them to play in youth sports," Jolly says.Â
Jolly also advocates for voting by phone.
"Why aren't we talking about expanding access to the younger generation and to disparate populations to be able to vote electronically or digitally? We can secure a single vote by allowing them to do it digitally or on their phone," Jolly argues.
Concluding, Jolly shares that he does not have a plan for property taxes. Florida's property tax amendment is on the ballot on Nov. 3.
"I don't have a proposal to eliminate property taxes," Jolly says.
The ad comes as Rep. Donalds and Jolly face off in the general election on Nov. 3. Donalds has challenged Jolly to three debates leading up to election day.
