Florida Matters host Carson Cooper and U.S. Rep. David Jolly, who represents the 13th Congressional district.

Republican U.S. Rep. David Jolly was elected to represent Florida’s 13th Congressional district in a special election in 2014, and was re-elected in November 2014. 

This week on Florida Matters (Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 4 at 7:30 a.m.), we feature a newsmaker special with Jolly, who is now campaigning for the Senate seat being vacated by  U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio.

 As part of our ongoing coverage of the 2016 elections, we have extended invitations to the other candidates for Rubio’s Senate seat.

The 13th Congressional district covers most of Pinellas County and was held for more than 40 years by Republican C.W. "Bill" Young, who passed away in October 2013.

Lottie Watts was our Florida Matters producer from 2012 to 2016. She also covers health and health policy for WUSF's Health News Florida .
Carson Cooper served as host of WUSF’s "Morning Edition" for 18 years. He took the job in 2000, after working in Tampa Bay radio for decades. He was a fan favorite of our listeners, bringing his friendly and familiar voice to listeners as they started their weekday mornings.
