With just a few days left until Jacksonville’s runoff election, the endorsements are flying in the city’s mayor’s race. Incumbent Mayor Alvin Brown and challenger Lenny Curry are in a fight to the finish in what’s expected to be a close election. Earlier this week, former mayor John Delaney joined us to explain why he has decided to endorse Mr. Curry. Today we welcome high-profile supporter of Alvin Brown, Jacksonville author, historian and activist Wayne Wood.
We speak with Angie Nixon and Natalie McGriff, the mother and daughter team behind the comic book "The Adventures of Moxie Girl."

We preview the 2015 Caregiver Expo with Toula Wooten, of the Northeast Florida Caregiver Coalition and Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, and Gary Barg, founder and Editor-in-Chief of "Today's Caregiver" magazine and Caregiver.com.
