Byron Donalds, David Jolly Outline Differences on Property Taxes, Insurance at Fort Lauderdale Summit
The nominees clashed over a state-backed hurricane insurance fund and a property tax ballot measure, with each warning the other’s plan could raise costs.
- On Wednesday, Democratic gubernatorial nominee David Jolly and Republican Byron Donalds appeared separately at the Sunshine Economy Summit in Fort Lauderdale to outline sharply different economic visions for Florida.
- The candidates presented contrasting approaches to property taxes and insurance, with Jolly proposing a state-backed windstorm fund while Donalds favors maintaining reforms passed under Governor Ron DeSantis.
- Amendment 3, which would increase homestead exemptions to $250,000, divided the candidates: Donalds plans to vote in favor, while Jolly opposes the measure but said he would respect voters' decision.
- Efforts to arrange a debate collapsed, marking the first gubernatorial election in 50 years without one, as both candidates accused the other of misrepresenting their platforms in campaign ads.
- Both nominees continue campaigning for the November 3 general election as Florida voters face choices on insurance affordability, property taxes, and data center regulation.
