Kathleen Crampton and I met in the middle of August with Representative Michael Gottlieb, and he will again be introducing the National Popular Vote bill in the Florida legislature.
Members of the National Popular Vote committee will be meeting with almost every Florida legislator in the Palm Beach County Delegation before presenting at the Delegation meeting on November 1 in Greenacres. Most have shown an interest in hearing about National Popular Vote.
Florida is one of only nine states that has refused to hold a committee hearing on the National Popular Vote. Our conversations with legislators are focused on encouraging them to hold just such a hearing on the bill.
If you haven’t seen it already, check out the newly refreshed website of Floridians for National Popular Vote at www.FloridiansForNPV.com or by scanning the QR code below. It contains excellent information about National Popular Vote, including a wonderful 2 ½ minute video that can be found on the home page. And once on the site, click on the button “Take Action” to send
an email to each of your state legislators telling them that you are in favor of National Popular Vote.
We are also continuing our efforts to book presentations to community and business groups, political clubs, and even other PBC League committees. Anyone interested in a presentation for their group, inside or outside the League, please contact me, Danny Lishansky, at npv@lwvpbc.org.
