Description

As Hurricane Melissa intensifies toward Category 5, Florida families are facing more than just the storm, they’re facing Washington’s gridlock. Congressman Jimmy Patronis (R-FL-1) joins Steve Gruber to warn that Chuck Schumer’s shutdown is putting lives and property at risk by freezing the National Flood Insurance Program right in the heart of hurricane season. Drawing on his experience as Florida’s former Chief Financial Officer, Patronis explains why Washington’s political games could cost Floridians everything, and why local leaders can’t wait for D.C. to act. They also dive into what’s next for the shutdown, the chances of government reopening before the election, and how redistricting could reshape the political landscape.
