In this episode of American Potential, host David From continues the “50 Stars, 50 Stories” series by spotlighting four states that joined the Union in March—Florida, Ohio, Nebraska, and Vermont.

Joined by Americans for Prosperity state directors Skylar Zander (Florida) and Donovan O’Neil (Ohio), the conversation blends fun trivia with a deeper look at the policies shaping each state’s future. From historical milestones to cultural highlights, the episode explores what makes these states unique.

The discussion also dives into how Florida and Ohio are working to expand opportunity—through efforts like tax reform, school choice, and cutting red tape—while tackling challenges like housing, insurance, and energy affordability.

It’s a lighthearted but insightful episode that highlights a bigger idea: when states compete to advance freedom and opportunity, Americans benefit—and the American Dream stays within reach.
