Ever wish politics felt more human? Same. This episode with Dr. Neil Manimala, Hillsborough County Commission District 5 Countywide candidate, was smart, thoughtful, and genuinely fun—like talking to someone you could easily chat with for hours.
We cover what the County Commission does, how decisions about budgets, transportation, nonprofit funding, affordable housing, and infrastructure impact your daily life—and why Neil believes local government should be accessible, transparent, and people-first.
This conversation is full of laughs, clarity, and real insight into why Neil Manimala is someone worth voting for.
