This week on Political Connections…

Governor's Race

Anchor Al Ruechel sits down for an exclusive one-on-one interview with Commissioner of Agriculture and former Congressman, Adam Putnam. He’s one of the Republican frontrunners for governor, but where does he stand on the issues?

Commissioner Putnam is sharing his vision for Florida including education – focusing more on his push for technical schooling.  It’s something he says will cut down student loan costs.

Plus, keeping Washington, D.C. out of the Sunshine state? We’re hearing why what works for Washington…may not work for us, according to Putnam.  He explains what more needs to be done.

Remembering the First Lady

The nation set to bid a final farewell to former First Lady Barbara Bush.

We're looking back on the woman who led the helm of a political dynasty.

On Saturday, the late Mrs. Bush will be laid to rest on the grounds of The Bush Presidential Library, located at Texas A&M University in College Station.

Barbara Bush passed away on Tuesday at age 92.

Politifact: Truth-O-Meter Rating

This week, Ybeth Bruzual joins us for Politifact.

We’re fact-checking a claim made by Chris King (D-FL) who is also running for Florida Governor.

During a democratic forum King said, "Hispanic entrepreneurs, those who have immigrated from Spanish-speaking countries, often start three times as many businesses as white males."

Politifact writer Allison Graves puts his claim to the Truth-O-Meter test to separate fact from fiction.

Can you guess what they rated?
