July 8th episode of Top of Mind Florida - State Representative Toby Overdorf, from the Treasure Coast, joins Brian Crowley & Michael Williams for a wide-ranging conversation on policy, politics, and personal reflections. Overdorf makes news by announcing his 2028 run for the Florida Senate and discusses legislative accomplishments—including his work to combat human trafficking, education reform to improve nursing school standards, and efforts to hold predatory institutions accountable. So many Floridians are in a fight for affordability, asking every day, 'How do I afford to l live here?' The conversation turns to pressing issues like Florida’s property tax structure, with Overdorf offering insights into proposed reforms and his leadership role in crafting a potential constitutional amendment. He addresses the ongoing affordability crisis, controversial development proposals in state parks, and the complex realities of immigration policy. Talk turns to "the gotcha culture" and with a thoughtful call for more civility in politics, Overdorf closes the episode reflecting on his hopes—and worries—for his new grandson’s future in Florida.
