Thanks to each of you for reading and participating in the Action Alerts. With the primary election successfully completed, we have eleven weeks to get out the vote for the general election on November 5.

The LWV of Alachua County and the UF Bob Graham Center for Public Service hosted a highly successful, highly attended primary candidate forum on Sunday, 6/23/24, at the Bob Graham Center for Public Service. Sixteen candidates running for sheriff, county commission, Gainesville city commission, school board and state representative district 22 participated. They answered questions composed by the League while an overflow audience filled all the chairs, lined the staircases and watched from a balcony above. Afterward the crowd enjoyed free refreshments while talking with the candidates. Candidates and guests had glowing comments about the event.

Here's the Action Alert ask for this week...
