Steve Southerland: David Jolly Win Shows Florida's Tired of Obama, Nancy Pelosi

U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla., offered his take on David Jollys win over former state CFO Alex Sink in a special congressional election on Tuesday niight, insisting the Republican victory showed that Floridians are tired of the policies backed by President Barack Obama and U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. Southerland is facing a major challenge from Democrat Gwen Graham and the GOP is looking to paint her as a Pelosi ally.

"America is at a crossroads, and tonight's victory is a clear indication that Floridians have had enough of the out-of-touch agenda being pushed by the president, Nancy Pelosi, and their allies on the campaign trail, Southerland said. Floridians don't want a representative who is going to fight tooth and nail to preserve Obamacare, increase taxes, and make it more difficult for hard-working families to get ahead."
