Host Reed Galen is joined by ⁠David Jolly⁠ (Former Republican Congressman and 2026 Democratic Candidate for Governor of Florida) for a conversation about his political evolution and what it means for the future of the Sunshine State.

They discuss Jolly’s journey from Republican to Independent to Democrat, why he believes Florida is at an inflection point, and how affordability, insurance, education, and corruption are shaping the lives of everyday Floridians. Jolly also shares his vision for building a winning coalition, what it will take for Democrats to compete in a state long dominated by the GOP, and why leadership must be about values, not ideology. Plus, the dangers of political apathy, Ron DeSantis’ myth of the “Free State of Florida,” and why he believes this election cycle could change the state’s direction for good.
