					<description><![CDATA[After being tagged with with fellow Republican Donald Trump last week, David Jolly is hitting back at Charlie Crist when it comes to being associated with the Manhattan real estate developer and GOP presidential candidate. As Jolly was easily winning his Republican primary against Mark Bircher in Florida&#8217;s 13th Congressional District last Tuesday night, Crist issued a statement saying that &#8220;it saddens me to think that anyone who supports Donald Trump’s agenda could ever represent Pinellas County.&#8221; The inference was that Jolly is backing Trump in the presidential election. Though Jolly hasn&#8217;t ruled&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[David Jolly easily handled Mark Bircher in the GOP primary contest in Florida&#8217;s 13th Congressional District. Now, the Indian Shores Republican is turning his full attention to defeating Charlie Crist, which won&#8217;t be easy. Jolly defeated Democrat Alex Sink in a special election in March 2014 by just 1.8 percentage points. That was when the district did not include more liberal enclaves of downtown and South St. Petersburg, making it much more favorable for a Democrat to win in 2016. Trying to set the mood from the onset, Matthew&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The war of words between David Jolly and Charlie Crist has already started, with Jolly accusing his Democratic opponent of lying about his support for Donald Trump. David Jolly defeated Mark Bircher in the Republican race for Pinellas County’s 13th Congressional District earlier in the evening, and now looks forward to what could be one of the most interesting congressional races in the country as he faces Crist in November. Jolly led Bircher, 75 to 25 percent, with not all the votes completely counted. “This Republican primary&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[He&#8217;s been Florida&#8217;s Republican governor, was considered a potential vice presidential candidate and almost became a U.S. Senator. But Charlie Crist is aiming a bit lower for his political comeback in 2016, running for the U.S. House after switching his party to Democrat. The always smiling, always suntanned Crist is running against U.S. Rep. David Jolly in a redrawn district including his hometown of St. Petersburg, following a redistricting process widely seen as eroding advantages of incumbents and possibly allowing&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Former Gov. Charlie Crist heard many messages from Pinellas educators during a roundtable discussion Thursday. But one message stood out: There’s a “disconnect” between schools, upper-level administrators and policymakers. Policymakers and administrators have created a rigid, one-size-fits-all system that prevents teachers and schools from being flexible enough to meet the needs of individual students and the needs of the schools themselves. “There needs to be greater flexibility because, just like all kids are not the same, all schools are not&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is perennially one of the strongest financial supporters of Republicans around the country. The group spent more than $35 million in the 2014 midterms and had already spent more than $1.9 million for embattled Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey, more than a million for Arizona Senator John McCain, and $1.5 million in ads against Democratic Senate candidate Patrick Murphy. The Chamber also spent some serious money on Republicans in contested congressional races, spending more than $650,000 on Georgia Republican Drew Ferguson and more than $200,000 on&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It was a big story earlier this year when U.S. Rep. David Jolly proposed a law that would stop lawmakers, especially those named David Jolly, from spending at least four hours a day on the phone begging for money. He even went on “60 Minutes” to promote his bill, called the Stop Act. He told a national audience how members of Congress have hours of fundraising for themselves and their party built into their daily schedules. They are given a&#8230;]]></description>
