David Jolly Showcases Family, Talks Social Security in Latest TV Ad

Republican David Jolly looked to push back against attacks from Democratic rival former state CFO Alex Sink on Social Security in a new television ad released on Monday. The ad features Jollys mother Judith and his aunt Carol Matthews.

Alex Sink and the DCCC have taken mistruths about my stance on Social Security and Medicare and turned these misrepresentations into negative attack ads that are intentionally misleading voters, said Jolly. Our seniors and voters deserve better than this and I want to set the record straight about where I stand on these critical issues.

"If elected, I will work to guarantee Social Security and Medicare benefits for our seniors who deserve that we honor these benefits as a promise one that we will keep.

This ad features two of the most important people in my life, my mom Judith and my aunt Carol, who I want to help care for by working to ensure their benefits will not keep getting cut by the failed and broken policies of Obamacare, and which my Democrat opponent seems determined to support.

Jolly used the occasion to continue attacking Sink.

Alex Sinks selfish motivation is clear she wants to frighten seniors with mistruths for her own political gain, Jolly said. Millions of dollars in negative, misleading advertisements will not and should not get in the way of our voters being able to make sound decisions based on good information.

Social Security and Medicare benefits should be considered a debt we owe our seniors and yet, policies enacted and demanded by Obamacare have undermined these benefits completely and will continue to make it harder for seniors to receive the benefits they have worked hard for and deserve, Jolly continued. The people of Pinellas County deserve a candidate who will put people over politics. Alex Sink seems determined to put her support of Obamacare over the health and security of our seniors, and our voters deserve the chance to see through this smokescreen and get to the truth.

Jolly, Sink and Libertarian Lucas Overby meet in the March 11 special election.
