Episode Synopsis


Mobile home park residents are usually among those hardest hit by hurricanes. But this storm season has been particularly hard, as Della Hale reports. Next: Sarasota County commissions an annual survey, and for the fifth year in a row, overdevelopment is the top concern of people living in Sarasota. We talk to a community activist. Then: For six years, Greg Steube has represented Sarasota County and portions of Charlotte and Lee in the U.S. House of Representatives. Manny Lopez is the underdog challenging the pro-gun, anti-immigration, and anti-abortion congressman. Florence Fahringer had a conversation with Lopez. Finally: Nancy Simpson is a floodplain expert. And she's now running for office, challenging James Buchanan - the son of U.S. Representative Vern Buchanan -  for the seat representing District 74 in the Florida House. Noah Vinsky talked to Simpson.
