On today's episode, Gainesville City Commissioner Bryan Eastman makes his Trop Dep debut! You already know Ryan's itching to talk to the Commish about the state hijacking the city's public utilities -- but did you know Republicans are also trying to carve out a district in ocean blue G-Ville for themselves? Along the way, we talk about what makes Gainesville a truly unique city in Florida, and how the nationalization of local politics has made everyone worse off.

The fast-paced conversation ranges from Ron DeSantis's attempt to get Florida into the redistricting wars, the Tampa mayor race, and the GOP race for governor.
