If Escambia County Clerk of Court Pam Childers wants to call David Jolly about Commissioner Mike Kohler, she needs to ask Commissioner Lumon May for his phone number. It looks like May has the Democratic gubernatorial candidate on speed-dial.
Black Leaders Organize to Support David Jolly
Today, the Jolly-Graham campaign announced a group of Black leaders working to organize, shape policy, and further engage with voters in every community across the state. The group brings together leaders who David Jolly has been working with individually into a new, connected coalition.
- “This election is about whose side you are on,” said State Senator Shevrin Jones. “Byron Donalds works for Donald Trump and has a voting record that mirrors Project 2025, which exemplifies the Republican anti-Black agenda.”
The group’s respected, veteran leaders have the experiences and expertise necessary to drive a platform that ensures Florida works for everyone.

Gayle Andrews, Jolly-Graham Senior Advisor
Alvin Brown, Former Jacksonville Mayor
Lavon Bracy Davis, State Senator
Pamela Burch Fort, Jolly-Graham Senior Policy Advisor

- “This team is stacked with talent and wisdom, and it’s connected to every part of Florida,” Democratic nominee for governor David Jolly said. “Together we’re focused on the cost of housing and healthcare, great schools, and safe communities throughout Florida.”
Throughout the campaign, Jolly has traveled across Florida, listening in dozens of neighborhoods and churches from Brownsville in Pensacola, to Myrtle Avenue in Jacksonville, to Little Haiti in Miami, and to the highest of seven hills at FAMU in Tallahassee.
As governor, Jolly has pledged to open an office of civil rights, push back against culture wars that attack the teaching of Black history, and support robust voting rights legislation. Housing, healthcare, and education for all Floridians are key pillars of Jolly’s agenda.
