Tim DickinsonHOST
The
Zachary DonniniGUEST
22nd district in Florida is very close to a toss-up in our model right now.
Zachary DonniniGUEST
There are a couple districts in Florida that are considered more competitive that Democrats really want to win.
Zachary DonniniGUEST
If Democrats are losing 14 or 25, not a good indicator for Democrats.
Trey RadelHOST
So really, this is a huge part of her district that she had before she relocated to go to a more blue area.
Trey RadelHOST
With that said, our man Casey Askar, the Republican nominee, joins us now, who is running in District 22.
Trey RadelHOST
Casey, we had you on just last week, talked quite a bit about you, your background, and more.
Trey RadelHOST
We can recap that before we leave.
Jon RawlHOST
This is sort of a central Florida area that could be a Republican pickup here because Florida, it seems, has done a very strong job in recent years of picking up a Republican force, at least.
Jon RawlHOST
Also in the Sunshine State, you got District 22, and this is an area that also is sort of in the central Florida on the Atlantic coast side.
Jon RawlHOST
This is an open seat, and it's being fought between Democrat Pia Dandiyah and Republican Casey Asghar.
Jon RawlHOST
in this toss-up election for Florida's 22nd district.
Trey RadelHOST
In Collier County, if you haven't heard me chat about it, Casey Escar is in a very, very difficult race against the Democrat who is located on the East Coast.
Trey RadelHOST
That District 22 is the new district that the Republicans carved up, maybe got a little cocky because the Republican there from Collier County certainly faces a challenge from the Democrat on the East Coast, her name, Pia Dandia.
Trey RadelHOST
That's a crazy district.
Trey RadelHOST
It has four counties in it, Collier, a slice of Hendry, Palm Beach, as well as Broward.
Ty RussellHOST
Do you suspect that Republicans will be able to hold on and gain seats based on the redrawn map since political experts are saying the map makes it easier for Republicans to keep seats and then pick up extra seats and Democrats to lose some of those seats?
Carl CascioGUEST
Yeah, well, we just happen to have two of them coming through Palm Beach County, District 22 and District 25.
Carl CascioGUEST
And Scott Silver in District 22 and then Mr. Ashkar in District 22 are both excellent candidates.
Carl CascioGUEST
I think they pushed the right message.
Carl CascioGUEST
They are slightly Republican-leaning seats.
Evan ManderyHOST
All right, let's do two more.
Evan ManderyHOST
Florida 22, which is...
Evan ManderyHOST
One of the most gerrymandered redistricts in America.
Evan ManderyHOST
The Democrat Pia Bandaya is a school principal and former teacher from Palm Beach.
Greg SargentHOST
Your outfit, Sabato's Crystal Ball, is about to make some more ratings changes this week.
Greg SargentHOST
I understand you guys will move Florida's 25th District from toss-up to lean Democratic, and Florida's 22nd District from lean Republican to toss-up.
Greg SargentHOST
Those are two Dem-held seats in Florida that Republicans had hoped to flip.
Greg SargentHOST
Those are your coming changes, right? Can you explain why you're making these changes and what their bigger significance is?
Trey RadelHOST
Republicans, this is your guy.
Trey RadelHOST
Casey Askar is running in this massive Congressional District 22, and he's a Collier guy with you.
Trey RadelHOST
Uh, Casey actually ran for Congress, uh, a few cycles ago when Francis Rooney vacated the seat, and he is now running and won the Republican nomination for District 22, uh, in August.
Trey RadelHOST
And Casey Askar is running against Pia Dandia, and she, uh, is getting helped out by the Democrat Party, by other large donors because they feel that even though it's a slightly lean Republican seat, that they've got the momentum all over the country, and they think that this particular seat is kind of a bellwether.
Trey RadelHOST
It, like if that Congressional District 22, uh, goes blue, first of all, again, I, I will repeat this ad nauseam, Collier, you will be represented by a Democrat, one based, by the way, in Broward, the roughly Lauderdale area.
Trey RadelHOST
I, I, you know, I, good luck.
Trey RadelHOST
I don't know how constituent services will work out there.
Trey RadelHOST
It's quick with the supervisors.
Henry OlsenGUEST
Keep this lean R.
Sean SpicerHOST
Okay, then let's go down a little bit to Florida's 22nd District.
Sean SpicerHOST
Uh, incumbent Lois Frankel seeking re-election in the 23rd District, which makes this one an open seat.
Sean SpicerHOST
Pia Dandia versus Casey Askar, the Republican.
Trey RadelHOST
Um, if just only...
Trey RadelHOST
So, uh, every time that we've talked about this congressional candidate, uh, who is running for Congressional District 22 against Casey Askar.
Trey RadelHOST
Askar's the Republican.
Trey RadelHOST
The Democrat, uh, her name is Pia Dandia.
Trey RadelHOST
We're gonna have that in the next segment.
Trey RadelHOST
[laughs] It's the song I Am Pia.
Trey RadelHOST
Um, and again, uh, the, she is running for Congress in, uh, District 22, for those of you in our local area here, uh, in Collier County.
Trey RadelHOST
That's a huge portion of Collier.
