    Lt. Gov. Jay Collins: The Home Stretch of a Hostile Race

    Florida's governor's race is at a fever pitch, with social media feuds between candidates driving the Sunshine State's news cycle. Lt. Gov. Jay Collins, who's vying to replace the man who appointed him, says the online chatter does not reflect real life on the campaign trail. Collins joins the "Between the Lines with Dara Kam" podcast from State Affairs to give an update on the state of the race and address online fisticuffs involving some of Gov. Ron DeSantis' top aides. The LG also clarifies where his relationship stands with DeSantis amid the friction. Additionally, Collins lays out his strategy for taking on U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, the well-funded, Trump-endorsed frontrunner leading the hotly contested race. With less than a month until the primary election, Collins argues it is time for the field to consolidate in order to compete against Donalds in the home stretch.

    Florida Immigrant Coalition's Tessa Petit: The Fight to Protect Families

    Temporary Protected Status is at the center of a high‑stakes policy battle that could reshape life for hundreds of thousands of immigrants — and their neighbors, employers and communities. In this week's episode of "Between the Lines with Dara Kam" from State Affairs, Tessa Petit, executive director of the Florida Immigrant Coalition, breaks down the human and economic risks if TPS protections are rolled back. Petit says terminating TPS could force the U.S. to lose more than 200,000 workers overnight, including many in healthcare, with South Florida facing the most severe impact. Born in Haiti, Petit details the dangers for people who could be forced to return to a country experiencing famine, gun violence, and political instability. In this frank conversation, Petit tells Dara that years of uncertainty have left many immigrants feeling "tired of being unwanted." Don't miss this week's episode, which also breaks down a recent Supreme Court decision that expands border agents' discretion over reentry for green card holders, altering long‑standing travel protections.

    Beyond the Party Lines: U.S. Senate Candidate Alex Vindman's Plan for Florida

    U.S. Senate candidate Alex Vindman has spent his life in the arenas that shape history—the Army, the Pentagon, and the White House. Now, he's stepping into the volatile arena of Florida politics. In this candid conversation on "Between the Lines with Dara Kam" from State Affairs, Vindman reflects on the experiences that forged his candidacy and his strategy to address "crushing costs" facing Florida families if elected. Vindman digs into the realities of running against Trump‑endorsed U.S. Sen. Ashley Moody and explains why reaching non-affiliated voters is the lynchpin of his strategy to topple the incumbent. Could Vindman's military service and background as an outsider be the "secret sauce" for the Democrat in the fall election? From a 21-year Army career and a Purple Heart in Iraq to witnessing a "corrupt abuse of power" at the highest level, Vindman says he's ready to "bring it" in his bid to represent the Sunshine State.

    Gubernatorial Candidate Desmond Meade: Never Underestimate the Desire for Change

    Desmond Meade, a nationally recognized advocate and founder of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, is stepping into Florida's gubernatorial race with no party affiliation and a belief that unity is still possible. Known for leading the historic constitutional amendment that restored voting rights to Floridians with felony convictions, Meade has reshaped both policy and language, championing the term "returning citizens" to restore dignity to people reentering society after incarceration.   Meade joined the "Between the Lines with Dara Kam" podcast from State Affairs to discuss how he's taking his fight for unity statewide.  In a race crowded with well‑funded, high‑profile contenders, Meade insists he's not choosing between elevating issues and winning, he's doing both. And he points to his track record of bringing Floridians together across political divides on one of the state's most contentious issues as proof that overcoming long odds is nothing new for him.   Visit pro.stateaffairs.com/florida for more.

    A Jolly Good Show with State Sen. Tina Polsky!

    In this episode of "Between the Lines with Dara Kam" from State Affairs, Florida State Senator Tina Polsky joins the show for her first in-depth chat since joining Democrat David Jolly's gubernatorial campaign in a major leadership role. Polsky, serving as the chair of public policy and government affairs, discusses her transition from the Florida Legislature and her work shaping the campaign's objective of "governance on day one." The campaign surrogate also provides insight into Jolly's selection of former U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham as his running mate, examining the duo's bipartisan legislative experience influences the ticket's approach to state government.  Dara and the senator also explore David Jolly's political trajectory from a Republican member of Congress to a Democratic candidate for governor and how this evolution informs the policy blueprint being developed for the campaign.  Sen. Polsky also reveals why she decided to step away from the Legislature and join Jolly in the quest to send a Democrat to the governor's mansion for the first time in three decades.

    Florida Policy Project President Jeff Brandes: The Spirit Airlines‑ification of Government

    Jeff Brandes, a Pinellas County Republican who served for 12 years in the Florida Senate, isn't holding back on his analysis of a proposed property tax overhaul going before voters in November.  Brandes, the founder and president of the nonprofit Florida Policy Project, joins the "Between the Lines with Dara Kam" podcast from State Affairs this week with his take on what he calls one of the most consequential measures headed to the ballot in modern history. Brandes argues the measure championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis was pushed through during a special legislative session at "warp speed," with lawmakers "under threat" that their priority projects could be vetoed if they didn't vote for it. He says the process lacked the data and deliberation needed to understand its real-world impact, especially the risk that cities and counties could be squeezed into consolidation as local tax revenues shrink. Brandes tells Dara that the Legislature effectively abdicated its responsibility to act as the gatekeeper for what belongs on the ballot, leaving former legislative leaders "spinning in their graves" over how the bill was handled. Tune in to hear Brandes contend that, if approved by voters, the plan could significantly change who wields power over local government spending. Visit pro.stateaffairs.com/florida for more.
