from WSLR News · host WSLR News

The drought has produced water restrictions. But they are not equally enforced. We have a Suncoast Searchlight report. Zander Moricz is at it again. This week, the youth organizer and viral debater was in Oxford to discuss the prompt “Youth activism is primarily performative”. We were at the debate watch party of his SEE Alliance in downtown Sarasota.Greg Steube sailed to re-election twice, easily. In November he will again face a Democratic challenger, but in the last races, Steube did not think it was necessary to ever address his challengers. We bring you a profile of Steube, the incumbent candidate.Our final candidate profile today is of Mark Smith. He is the incumbent in the District 2 race for Sarasota County Commission.
