Rep. Anna Eskamani Explains Where Florida Democrats Go From Here

Florida state Rep. Anna Eskamani flipped her seat outside Orlando red to blue in 2018, then easily held it in 2020. In between, she and her team personally helped 30,000 Floridians deal with unemployment, fought for renters, got hundreds of millions of dollars in arts funding, and showed that a bold progressive can govern with Republicans without compromising her values. We talk about what she's accomplished, why too many Florida Democrats lost, and where the party goes from here. (Plus: Whether or not she's running for governor... stay tuned!)
