Tampa Bay’s electeds, candidates and politicos check in as Election Day approaches

This is it, the last episode of The Skinny before the end of the 2024 General Election. For a packed show dedicated to what the country—and our own counties and cities—might look like come Wednesday, Nov. 6, we hosted a busy morning of election talk included the following guests:

• Matt Isbell, founder of mcimaps.com and data expert on Florida elections who discussed early voting numbers, and whether or not Democrats can make a dent in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties.
• Whitney Fox, the Democratic challenger to Anna Paulina Luna who’s fighting to keep her place in the U.S. House of Representatives representing large parts of Pinellas.
• Charlie Justice, a Democratic Pinellas County Commissioner, who hopes to earn a fourth term on the board where Vince Nowicki hopes to unseat him in one of the Bay area’s most competitive races.
• Brittany Lyssy, President of the Tampa Bay Young Republicans.
• Karla Correa, representing the Party for Socialism and Liberation, who will vote third party in the General Election.
• Lars A. Hafner, former Florida State Representative and current political analyst at WTSP-TV.
