Welcome back to the show!

This week, we are diving headfirst into the kitchen-table issues hitting Floridians the hardest—housing costs, property taxes, and skyrocketing insurance rates.

Joining the conversation is special guest Dr. Michael Binder from UNF’s Public Opinion Research Lab, here to break down fresh polling data revealing what’s really keeping voters up at night—and why these concerns are resonating across party lines.

  • What’s fueling the anxiety over affordability?
  • Are Florida’s leaders addressing the crisis—or just dodging it?
  • And how might this all shape the upcoming elections?

Dr. Binder shares insider insights, surprising data points, and the rare issues uniting Republicans and Democrats.

We unpack what it all means for Tallahassee, local governments, and the delicate balance of political power in the state.

Tune in now—and get the scoop before the next headline hits.
