Federal Beach Project

Sam cites the Federal Beach Project during a beachfront press gaggle to justify the administration's push to preserve Orange County's beachfront as a national treasure. Toby drills him beforehand on the tight soundbite to parry reporter questions about development threats. C.J. watches; Samantha presses Sam directly. Reporters crowd in, turning the policy into a defensive talking point amid Sam's discomfort with scripted lines.

After: Publicly referenced in on-camera remarks, now tied to the soundbite in media coverage potential.
