Communication to Legislators on Voting Record Report
Dear Representative,
AARP strongly believes voters should be informed on issues affecting older Floridians. With this in mind, and in response to requests from our members and from Florida legislators sitting on both sides of the aisle, AARP will identify bills of particular interest to AARP’s members and tell them how legislators vote on those bills during each legislative step. AARP will provide legislators notice of the bills selected for this reporting. AARP plans to publish a final voting record report at the conclusion of the 2021 Legislative Session. Included is a link to the voting record report which was published at the conclusion of the 2020 Session: www.aarp.org/flvotingrecord2020 In order to increase understanding of the legislation and lawmakers’ views on bills, AARP will encourage its readers to contact state legislators directly to learn more. Please direct questions or requests for additional information concerning AARP’s voting records initiative to Zayne Smith (850) 228-4243, Dorene Barker (850) 228-6387 or Ivonne Fernandez (954) 850-7262. AARP’s members and state advocacy staff look forward to engaging legislators and legislative staff through completion of the 2021 Regular Session.
Respectfully,
Jack L. McRay Advocacy Manager AARP Florida
