Your Florida

State lawmakers are making decisions that touch your life, every day. Like how roads get built and why so many feathers get ruffled over naming an official state bird. Your Florida is a reporting project that seeks to help you grasp the workings of state government.

About Your Florida

The Your Florida team produces journalism that connects you with state government and policies that affect your life. Launched in 2025 with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Your Florida offers statewide coverage of legislative developments, explainers on the civic process and community engagement initiatives that invite you to be a part of our reporting. WUSF shares this content with partner media outlets around Florida to ensure all residents of the Sunshine State have the information they need and the opportunity to share their concerns about issues important to them.

Meet The Staff
