Florida Sen. Moody announces HELPER Act to help first responders, LEOs buy homes
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Florida Senator Ashley Moody is sponsoring a bipartisan bill aimed at helping first responders, law enforcement, and teachers buy a home.
On Thursday, Florida sheriffs and deputies stood by her side in support as she shared the details about the bill at the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office Jail Assembly Room in Tampa.

Senator Moody says she's working hard to carry out a political promise.
'Supporting the men and women in blue, green, tan has been incredibly important,' Moody said.
She introduced her first piece of legislation two months into her term in Washington D.C.
'My first bill is the HELPER Act, which is going to help these men and women who volunteer for these jobs buy homes in the communities they love,' Moody said.
The Homes for Every Local Protector, Educator, and Responder (HELPER) Act of 2025 would let teachers, firefighter, law enforcement, and medical first responders join a new loan program.
It would give eligible recipients a one-time, upfront mortgage insurance premium without needing a down payment first.

Former Rep. David Jolly announces bid for Florida governor
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Former Rep. David Jolly announced Thursday that he is entering the Florida governor's race. Jolly previously represented Florida District 13 from 2014 to 2017 as a Republican. However, in the governor's race, Jolly will run as a Democratic candidate. 'Let's end the politics of division and return Florida to voters who simply want an economy that works, the best education system in the world, safe communities, and a government that stays out of their doctors' offices and family decisions,' Jolly said in a news release. 'This is a different type of issues-driven, results-focused campaign, and it will be driven not by anger and division but by optimism and solutions,' Jolly said. 'We are building a new coalition of Floridians who deeply care about their state and are desperate for real answers to real problems that are putting our quality of life at risk.' Jolly is the first Democrat to enter the Florida governor's race. U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett and State Sen. Jason Pizzo have already thrown their hats into the race.

Florida budget talks extended, final plan still pending
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WFLA) — The end of Florida's 2025 legislative session may finally be in sight, but not without another extension. 'When all is said and done on the 16th, I think we'll have a balanced budget our constituents will be proud of,' said Senate President Ben Albritton, R-Wauchula. WATCH: Osceola Sheriff Marcos Lopez arrested on racketeering charges House and Senate members returned to the floor Thursday to extend the budget deadline, for a third time. While leaders say they're making headway, lawmakers still haven't even gotten their hands on the budget yet.'We don't have any information, no idea what the budget looks like,' said State Rep. Dianne Hart, D-Tampa. Budget cuts are expected, but there's just no clarity yet on where those cuts will fall. 'That's a sad place to be, knowing that you're going home and you can't really talk to constituents about the budget because we don't know what's in the budget,' said Hart. Speaking publicly for the first time since lawmakers have been back in Tallahassee, Senate President Albritton and House Speaker Danny Perez. 'We don't have a final product yet, but we both have the same goal,' Perez said. According to both leaders, the goal of this year's budget is to provide long-term stability and recurring relief for Floridians.'We're making decisions today that are going to be super helpful in the future,' said Albritton. Albritton highlighted tax holidays like back-to-school and hurricane preparedness — saying they are still a part of the budget. 'What we are trying to do is stop that from happening into the future. The only way you can do that is by tying up some of the savings,' said Perez. It continues to be a waiting game, and from here on out, it will be up to the budget chairs to finish the job. Lawmakers are expected to return the week of June 16th, with Senate leadership saying he's 90% positive the budget will be passed on time. 'It was a bumpy road, and I believe we are better for it,' said Albritton. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Reaction pours in after Jolly announces run for governor
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Former Rep. David Jolly has announced he's running for Florida governor. The Dunedin native served as a member of Congress as a Republican from 2014 to 2017. He left the party in 2018 and recently registered as a Democrat. 'Is it okay to change your mind? I think it should be. I think more politicians should change their mind. I think the question is when we see politicians who change values. My values have been the same,' Jolly said. One of Jolly's goals is to help make it easier for Floridians to be able to live and spend money in the Sunshine State. 'I'm running because I think we are in the midst of an affordability crisis,' Jolly said One of his ideas involves a plan, he said, that would reduce the amount families pay for property insurance. Florida budget talks extended, final plan still pending 'Florida needs a state catastrophic fund. If we remove hurricane coverage, natural disaster coverage from the private market, put it into a state catastrophic fund, we can reduce private property insurance, homeowners' insurance, by up to 60%,' Jolly said. There continues to be a push to expand access to abortion and legalize recreational marijuana. Despite both ballot measures failing to cross the 60% threshold needed to pass, Jolly said lawmakers in Tallahassee should've filed and enacted legislation to honor the majority of voters. Jolly's platform also includes a plan to reduce gun violence. 'We need comprehensive and universal background checks. We need to improve the Parkland package. My republican opponent right now wants to roll back the Parkland package,' Jolly said. In a statement, gubernatorial candidate and Rep. Byron Donalds, who's endorsed by President Donald Trump, said, in part: 'David Jolly is a failed politician, lobbyist, and MSNBC commentator. Soon, he'll be able to add failed Gubernatorial candidate to his resume.' Jolly is a strong critic of Trump. State Sen. Jason Pizzo, who is running under No Party Affiliation, said: 'Nice guy. No chance.' Jolly does not see a pathway to the governor's mansion for any candidate who runs as an Independent. New Florida law requires restaurants to reveal 'hidden' fees There continues to be speculation involving First Lady Casey DeSantis and Attorney John Morgan to enter the race. St. Pete College Political Science Professor Tara Newsom weighed in on Jolly's candidacy. 'David Jolly might be the right messenger with the right message for the Democratic Party. His message that Floridians are tired of the culture wars and that the next gubernatorial campaign isn't about the MAGA movement but about the affordability issues,' Newsom said. Jolly understands he has to reach across party lines to win. 'If David Jolly can make the case that he switched parties out of principle, not politics, that will resonate with those independent voters,' Newsom said. The Republican Gubernatorial Association called Jolly a flip-flopper over switching parties and likened him to Former Gov. and Rep. Charlie Crist. The Florida Democratic Party doesn't make endorsements ahead of the primary. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
