David Jolly Reels in Support of South Florida Businessman

Prominent South Florida businessman Mike Fernandez backed U.S. Rep. David Jolly, R-Fla., to replace U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., in the U.S. Senate. 

Fernandez pointed to Jolly’s proposal to ensure members of Congress cannot solicit individuals for campaign contributions. 

“As an immigrant who came to this country over 50 years ago, I learned that hard work and core-values will allow you to succeed in this great country,” Fernandez said Friday. “I will never be able to repay this great country for what is has given me and provided for my family, but if I can leave this country better than when I came here I consider that success. In order to leave this country better than it is today, we must have the proven leaders who are courageous enough to lead this great country and to act upon their morals and principles. I cannot think of a better proven leader with better morals and principles than David Jolly. He is a guy who is unafraid to speak his mind and call things like he sees it. His recent STOP Act proposal to get Congress working again is a prime example of that. We need more people who have the guts to shake things up in Washington.”
