In this episode, we talk with Florida state Representative Christine Hunschofsky about governing during uncharted times, leadership during grief, and inspiring others, especially women, to run for office. Rep. Hunschofsky served as the Mayor of Parkland during the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018, and currently represents district 95 in the Florida House of Representatives.  She shares with us, and especially with host Christine (Uncharted Living’s very own “Florida woman”), some behind the scenes stories and glimmers of hope about the recent legislative session with Ron DeSantis’ supermajority.
