Christian Ulvert
Peter Schorsch hunkers down with Christian Ulvert, a Democratic political strategist and public affairs professional who founded and owns EDGE Communications. Ulvert also served the Florida House as communications director and policy adviser to Democratic Leader Dan Gelber during his two-year leadership term. Ulvert shares advice for Democrats running for office this year as the novel coronavirus continues to fundamentally shift the way campaigns are run in all races. He describes the importance of keeping campaigns focused on virus outreach rather than traditional campaigning. He also weighs in on Gov. Ron DeSantis’ job performance so far on managing the virus in the state and laments DeSantis’ decisions that seem to be in lock step with President Donald Trump. But Ulvert also discusses the need to shed politicization throughout the process and offers praise for some Democrats he thinks are getting it right. That includes U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio who he applauded for ushering in bipartisan relief for businesses aimed at keeping workers on the payroll. Listen also as Peter and Ulvert discuss the troubling state of affairs in Florida’s unemployment system and share worry for the hundreds of thousands of out-of-work Floridians desperate to see relief.
