We talked with Hallandale Beach Vice Mayor Sabrina Javellana about the wave of progressive candidates ushered into office north of the Miami-Dade county line, what it means for Florida’s second-biggest county, and how it could serve as a template to win more elections throughout the state. We also touched on how Florida’s progressives are centering new and strong voices, and how to turn the state’s moribund Democratic party into a helping force, not a centrist hindrance.
