0:00 One of the things you get from doing 160 town halls, whether it's ten people or 150, is you. You end up with a a very efficient focus group across the state. Right. But look, everybody's life is impacted differently. So in a group of 500, you can feel the movement happening across the state of Florida. People understand we're a state gripped by an affordability crisis and exhausted by culture wars.
0:33 Those are the the top line themes, right? People talk about their access to health care. They talk about whether or not they can afford to live in Florida anymore. But you get the broader themes of a movement across the state of Florida where people want change. Bringing back kindness, having leaders that are going to fight for everybody not just for their party, not just for a select few, but fight for a Florida for everyone.
0:59 I believe there are enough of us that believe in something better. I know we've got this in reach. In November this election is going to hold a mirror up to ourselves. Yes, I have a responsibility as a candidate to be strong, to lead the coalition. And I accept that responsibility. But in November, that mirror is going to be reflecting a lot more than just my candidacy.
1:20 It's going to be reflecting who we are as a people. I believe we're better than who we see right now. I believe we're better than who we are right now. And what I see in the town halls, whether it's 500 people or ten, I see on the faces of people across Florida that they believe in better as well.

Related questions

What does David Jolly mean by "believe in better"?

Across Florida, people are exhausted by culture wars and gripped by an affordability crisis. Believing in better means choosing leaders who fight for everyone, not just a party or a select few. It means bringing kindness back into politics and building a Florida where everyone belongs.

Why does he say November will hold up a mirror?

This election is not just about one candidate. It reflects who we are as a people and what we value. The choice in November will show whether we believe in kindness, fairness, and a Florida for everyone, or whether we accept division as the new normal.

What has he learned from 160 town halls?

In rooms of ten or five hundred, the same themes emerge. People cannot afford to live in Florida anymore. They are tired of leaders who only fight for their party. And they want someone who will fight for everyone. The movement is real, and it is happening across the state.
