On the new State of Emergency, hosts Jared Moskowitz and Peter Schorsch welcome House Redistricting Committee Chair Tom Leek for insight into the process — and challenges — of drawing new political maps. Among the topics — redistricting done right while keeping cities and counties as whole as possible. The proposed state maps — the Supreme Court still has to sign off on them — have 19 incumbents facing off in redrawn districts, an unforeseen challenge considering not knowing where many lawmakers live. As for congressional maps, Leek breaks news as the House is filing a brief to compel a decision in light of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ own map submission — a relative rarity for the chief executive. Leek’s other Session issues include supporting law enforcement and making Florida one of the most LEO-friendly states. What are the Democrats’ chances in 2022? Kudos to U.S. Senate candidate Val Demings, a tough-as-nails “rock star” and formidable challenger to incumbent Marco Rubio.  Excitement mounts as Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is set to open; it’s an innovative and unique hotel experience — with a price tag to match. And the latest on Disney Wish, the new cruise ship delayed by COVID-19, but a maiden voyage is coming soon.

Special Guest: Tom Leek.
