As Co-Chairs of the Florida Delegation , we would like to welcome you to the 1996 Democratic National Convention. We are delighted to have you with us for this momentous event. With a total of 203 members, Florida has the sixth largest delegation in Chicago. Florida Democrats are well represented not only in number but by the high level of diversity within our delegation. The women and men who make up Florida's delegation are of all ages , represent a wide range of ethnic, racial, reli gious and economic backgrounds , and come from all parts of our great state. Furthermore, in keeping with Democratic Party tradition , we are very proud of the powerful grass roots representation among our delegation. * Our strong presence in Chicago will be a fitting prelude to the Sunshine State's crucial role in the re election of President Clinton . Both at the Convention and at the polls this fall , Florida Democrats will be critical to ensuring that the effective and inspiring leadership we have seen over the past four years con tinues into the next century. Again , welcome to Chicago - and let's get ready to show that dedicated Florida Democratic spirit!
