Skylar Zander
Peter Schorsch hunkers down with Americans for Prosperity Florida Director Skylar Zander for a discussion that centers on family, isolation and government response. Americans for Prosperity is a conservative group that advocates for limited government and business freedoms. Zander describes a program he launched to help businesses struggling in the coronavirus economy. The social media campaign encourages those who are able to purchase gift cards to local businesses, take a picture with it and then share it with the hashtag #SpreadTheLove. Zander also discusses his group’s efforts to work with Congressional lawmakers on relief packages and expects there to be a fourth at some point. He said the goal is to ensure the relief is targeted, temporary and directly related to the crisis. He lamented some parts of the CARES Act including a $25 million allocation to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. His organization is also working to avoid a package similar to the 2008 stimulus, which Zander describes as “disastrous.” And Zander’s recommended reading and watching: A viral series and some classics.
