Polk County Democratic Party Weekly Digest: January 2-8, 2023

Call to Action: Sign up for annual Legislative Delegation Meeting

Democrats, as well as club and caucus representatives, are encouraged to have their voices heard during the annual Polk County Legislative Delegation Meeting later this month. 

Those who wish to speak must turn in a presenter's form by 5 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 7. To be placed on the printed agenda, contact Sen. Albritton’s office at kara@flsenate.gov or 863-534-0073 to receive via email the presenter's form.

The Legislative Delegation Meeting will be held on Friday, Jan. 13 from 1:30 - 5 pm at the Polk State College Center for Public Safety, 1251 Jim Keene Blvd. in Winter Haven. The public meeting allows citizens, elected officials, local governments and other organizations to address the delegation before the start of the legislative session in March.

If you've never attended one of these meetings, you will learn a lot about our elected officials and how they interact with community leaders and what specific groups ask their legislators for consideration, money, or help.

IMPORTANT REMINDER
