The Green Room - 08/05/2021 - An Interview w/ Nikki Fried

Join Dr. Barry Gordon and Ruta Jouniari, this Thursday (8/05) at 10:00 AM for a new episode of "The Green Room"! Dr. Barry and Ruta will be joined by Nikki Fried, Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services and 2022 Gubernatorial Candidate. The only Democrat to win statewide in Florida since 2012, Nikki Fried has served as our Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services since 2018. Before taking office, Nikki spent her career as a public defender fighting for justice and giving a voice to the voiceless. A longtime advocate for criminal justice reform and marijuana legalization, Nikki saw the devastating impact of injustice within our criminal justice system. As an attorney, she defended homeowners and stood up to the big banks during the foreclosure crisis, helped secure resources for children in the foster care system, and advocated for medical marijuana. As the only Democrat in Florida’s cabinet, Nikki has been our voice in Tallahassee, standing up for our rights, our safety, and our democracy. She kicked the NRA out of weapons license permitting, legalized hemp for farmers, defended voting rights, and protected our environment. Now, after more than two decades of Republican leadership in Tallahassee, Nikki is running for governor to break Florida’s corrupt, rigged system and build a state that gives power back to us.
