George Mason University now has an alumnus serving in Congress.
U.S. Rep. David Jolly (R-Fla.) was elected to represent Florida’s 13th District in a special election, and will face the voters again in November.
“That’s fantastic,” Jolly – a 2001 graduate of the university’s law school – said when informed he was the first GMU grad to reach the halls of Congress.
“I always say going to George Mason’s law school was one of the best decisions I ever made. I’m proud to be the first. I hope we have many more,” Jolly said in an article written by Buzz McClain of the GMU media staff.
Jolly served as general counsel to U.S. Rep. Bill Young, who represented Florida in Congress for 43 years before his death in 2013.
In the McClain article, Jolly said his GMU education had a significant impact on his success.
“Mason is unlike any law school in the country, in my opinion,” he said. “The type of education you get there – the law and economics approach – is unlike any other law curriculum. It uniquely prepares an attorney for any type of business.”
