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 interest to AARP’s members and let them know how legislators vote on those bills during the legislative process. AARP will provide legislators notice of the bills selected for AARP’s legislative voting record. For our members to have real-time access to legislative deliberations and to increase understanding of the legislation and lawmakers’ views on bills, we will simultaneously provide the same notice to AARP members across Florida. AARP will encourage its members to contact state legislators directly to learn more or voice their opinion. AARP will publish a final voting record report at the conclusion of the 2023 Legislative Session. Please direct questions or requests for additional information concerning AARP’s voting record initiative to me, Karen Murillo (850) 567-0414, Chante’ Jones (850) 272-0551 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 2023 Regular Session. Communication to Legislators on Voting Record Report
