Dear Members,
This is the last issue of the Voter for 2021. I wish we could say that our hard work this year has solved all problems. Sadly, that is not true, and we must jump into the 2022 year with renewed commitment and determination of empowering voters and defending democracy.

There are many important things happening that require your attention. It's time to gear up for the Legislative session. While the session begins January 2021, committee meetings are taking place now and being closely monitored by LWVFL. You should receive the Capitol Report from the LWVFL reporting on the various legislative committees. Please read these and take action as requested by LWVFL.
