State Rep. Dotie Joseph says she didn’t have a run for governor on her bingo card. Yet, here she is in a crowded field vying against David Jolly for the Democratic nomination.

“Florida Matters Live & Local” guest host Cathy Carter sits down with Joseph to discuss her platform, policy positions and perspective on the challenges facing the state.

Plus, hear about why an organization is helping restore the oyster habitat in the Manatee River. And later, a retired G-man talks about 30 years of investigating organized crime in a new memoir.
