3. A former Republican who saw the light.

Even when David Jolly was still serving in Congress as a Republican, then retiring from it, I sensed a change in him when he was appearing on MSNBC. I began to like him for his common sense approach to issues, principles, and humility.

I have confidence that he will defeat Byron Donalds in November. Tying him to a very unpopular President is vital to defining who Byron Donalds is and who David Jolly isn't. "Minnesota Matters". I like that fight in his voice.
