This Week in South Florida: Shevrin Jones

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. — With a primary win, and barring token write-in opposition, South Florida lawmaker Shevrin Jones is on track to become Florida's first openly gay state senator.

Despite some ugly personal attacks, and battling COVID-19 during the campaign, Jones beat five other candidates with almost 43 percent of the vote.

He joined This Week in South Florida hosts Michael Putney and Glenna Milberg for a conversation about the election.
