    2017 Regular Voting Session of the Records Florida Legislature ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES OF FLORIDA The Voice of Florida Business Since 1920 2017 CHAMPIONS for BUSINESSPage 25 AIF Voting Records • 2017 1 Dear Employer: It is my pleasure to provide you with this tabulation of the voting conduct of each member of the Florida Legislature during the 2017 Regular Session. Voting Records reports on the votes made by every legislator on bills that were advocated, promoted or opposed by Associated Industries of Florida (AIF). By reporting on 5,668 votes cast by legislators on 59 bills, this publication embodies the most exhaustive and complete record of the Tom C. Feeney President & Legislature’s approach to the concerns of Florida’s employers. Chief Executive Officer We go to great lengths to ensure that legislators are aware of AIF’s positions on issues of great importance to the business community. Every year before the session begins, we produce AIF’s Session Priorities, which explains why we support or oppose key issues. In addition, during the session we provide each legislator with a Daily Brief on the activities of that day, highlighting bills of interest to business and our positions on those issues. Our greatest asset, however, is our experienced and accomplished legislative team, which has compiled a record of success second to none. For 42 years AIF has published Voting Records yet, these records only tell part of the story. AIF also helps its member companies detect what bills and amendments are filed and by whom, and who is taking part in behind-the-scene efforts and debates on behalf of the busi- ness community.

Hatchett to fill a vacancy on the state Supreme Court. Justice Hatchett was the first African American to ascend to that position in Florida’s history, a testament to Governor Askew’s unwavering commitment to integration and equal justice. His judgement was overwhelmingly confirmed when Justice Hatchett won election in 1976. The historical appointment by Governor Askew stands in stark contrast to where we find ourselves today. With three upcoming vacancies on the Supreme Court, only 11 names out of a possible 18 have been submitted by the Judicial Nominating Commission. Not one is African American, despite six qualified African Americans having applied. This continues an appalling lack of diversity injudicial appointments made during your predecessor’s tenure as there has not been a single African American judge among Governor Scott’s 32 appointments to Florida’s five appellate courts. You have an opportunity to correct this stark imbalance as you have the power to insist on a full complement of 18 candidates to be considered.

On behalf of the millions of diverse constituents the Senate Democratic Caucus represents, we urge you to consider the dangers such a move presents. As you acknowledged earlier this month, we are experiencing a spike in incidents of gun violence throughout our state, most notably in South Florida. Florida kids are dying in the streets, and it is not at the hands of immigrants crossing the border. Your choice to divert Florida officers away from their local communities where they are desperately needed will handicap efforts to combat this critical and urgent public safety issue. Sheriffs’ deputies, highway patrol, the Fish and Wildlife Commission, and FDLE are all critical components in stemming the rising numbers of gun-related crime in our state, without which Floridians have diminished protection. Additionally, summer tourist season is upon us; with a reopened economy, surging numbers in communities coast-to-coast will demand a greater police presence to safeguard and protect Floridians and visitors alike.

In 2013, nearly 80,000 women, men and the Numbers teens turned to Planned Parenthood in Florida for health care services, including lifesaving cancer screenings, testing and treatment of sexually Over 100 transmitted infections, contraception services and abortion care.
