John Boehner Goes to Bat for David Jolly

U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, threw his weight behind David Jolly, the Republican candidate in the special congressional election in Pinellas County. Jolly takes on Democrat former state CFO Alex Sink and Libertarian Lucas Overby in Tuesdays election.

Boehner sent out a fundraising email to his supporters on Friday, encouraging them to back Jolly in this highly contested and neck and neck race. Most of Boehners focus was against Sink, looking to tie her to President Barack Obama and U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

A Republican win next week against Barack Obamas and Nancy Pelosis hand-picked candidate will help our team build momentum here in 2014, Boehner insisted. Dont let the Left steal this election in its final days. This is anyones race.

Boehner also praised Jolly.

David Jolly will be a welcome addition to our team thats fighting for lower taxes, more jobs, and balanced budgets, Boehner maintained.
