Senate Candidate David Jolly Makes his Case to Conservative GOP Voters

Running to replace U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., in the Senate in 2016, U.S. Rep. David Jolly, R-Fla., showcased his conservative credentials on Friday.

Jolly released a scorecard highlighting his record on several issues, including reducing the national debt and defunding Planned Parenthood. In the early stages of the primary, Jolly has drawn fire from some conservatives for supporting same-sex marriage. 
 
“Some people go to Washington for power and prestige – I went to get results,” Jolly insisted on Friday. “Paying lip service to conservative principles and not following through just won't cut it. Our budget is still out of balance, our debt continues to soar, and our economy is not as robust as we should expect and deserve. I've never hesitated to buck the establishment when I felt it was playing politics with issues that demand courage and even political sacrifice. Because my vote has to be earned. It is not for sale.
 
“As you know, I am running to represent the people of Florida in the U.S. Senate, and I do not ask for support blindly,” Jolly added. “Let's take this journey together to prove that when you put conservatism to work it works for everyone.”
