How does a middle school teacher launch a viral, youth-driven digital movement to shake up state politics? In this episode of our Getting to Know Your Candidates series, we talk with Florida House District 65 candidate Ben Braver. We dive into his youth-focused social media campaign and the bold, kitchen-table ideas he’s proposing for everyday Floridians—from tackling monopolistic landlords and out-of-control housing costs to fixing urban sprawl with real public transit. Tune in to hear how Ben plans to bring transparency, worker-first economics, and a teacher's perspective to Tallahassee.
