Florida Property Taxes, No Budget & the 2026 Governor's Race: Michael Williams & Brian Crowley

The 2026 Florida legislative session ended without a budget, no meaningful relief on homeowners insurance, and no resolution on property taxes — even though Governor DeSantis made property tax reform his signature issue and never offered a plan. Veteran journalists Michael Williams & Brian Crowley break down the session's biggest wins, failures, and what comes next — including special sessions on the budget, property taxes, and redistricting.

They also look ahead to Florida's 2026 governor's race, where Congressman Byron Donalds holds an early commanding lead on the Republican side, and where Democrats Jerry Demings and David Jolly are seen as the frontrunners. With gas prices rising, the war in Iran escalating, and affordability still a top concern, they examine whether Trump's political coattails will still be an asset by November.
