Now You Know Host Howard Sapp and co-host Dr. Cindy Banyai discuss end-of-school scheduling, summer plans, and Sapp’s campaign for Florida’s Congressional District 19 ahead of the August 18 primary. They focus on concerns about proposed cuts to National Park Service funding, potential sell-offs of park lands, and impacts from staffing reductions, while emphasizing preserving parks for future generations. The conversation shifts to voting and redistricting, describing gerrymandering efforts nationally and in Florida, urging voters to check their new congressional district and registration details. They outline Southwest Florida district changes, including Fort Myers being moved from CD 19 to CD 17 and parts of Collier to CD 22, and argue these moves dilute minority voting power. They connect political outcomes to Supreme Court appointments, Roe v. Wade being overturned, and voting rights being weakened, stressing the importance of voting down ballot.
