Keeping It Local is a series hosted by the Jacksonville Young Democrats where we interview inspiring people working to make our communities stronger at the state and local level.
After almost a year hiatus, Keeping it Local is back and (we like to think) better than ever. In this episode, Millie Leeds (JYD Communications Director) and Linae Parkinson (JYD President) sit down with Florida's Commissioner of Agriculture, Nikki Fried, as they learn what made Fried want to get in to politics and what it was like being the only Democrat on Ron Desantis' cabinet the past three years.
