Congressman Ted Yoho - who represents North-Central Florida, including parts of Orange Park, Palatka, Gainesville and Ocala - is retiring. He says he’ll leave Washington when the 116th Congress closes in January 2021. His seat will be on the ballot during next year's presidential election.

Congressman Yoho joined us to discuss his retirement, and other local and national news.

UF’s Whitney Laboratory

University of Florida’s Whitney Laboratory is a vital research institute in Florida, using marine models to solve problems affecting our environment, and human health. Mark Martindale, the Lab’s Director, joined us for a closer look at its work.
