Rising star Republican congressional candidate Amanda Makki is our guest for the 175th episode.

Makki is running to defeat U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) in Florida’s 13th congressional district.

In this conversation, we explore her background, how her family fled Iran in 1980, why she’s running, why environmental issues are so important to Florida, what her path to victory is and what the political environment is like out there.
