The story in brief
Florida Politics reports that Democrat David Jolly’s campaign has released an ad featuring Kelly Mason, a Republican Collier County School Board member who sued Byron Donalds over a 2022 encounter; the lawsuit was later dropped. Mason’s ad-script allegations about intimidation and a dispute involving charter school management are claims, not findings established by the excerpt. Her appearance appears designed to appeal to voters who have supported Gov. Ron DeSantis, as Jolly and Donalds compete for Florida governor.
