On This Week in Jacksonville, we discuss the response to and impact from Tropical Storm Elsa, with State Senator Audrey Gibson and Congressman John Rutherford. We also look ahead to 2022, talking with Sen. Gibson about her endorsement of Democrat Charlie Crist in the race for governor. Rep. Rutherford gives us an update from Washington, talking about the Freedom to Fly Act and the Essential Caregivers Act. And, we talk with Mary Daniel, a local advocate for senior care. Her husband, who has Alzheimer’s, resides at a memory care facility, and she couldn’t see him during the first months of the pandemic. Hear how her experiences during that time led her to take action and push for change.
