Voting Records reports on the votes made by every legislator on bills that were lobbied, advocated, promoted or opposed by Associated Industries of Florida. By reporting on 10,451 votes cast by legislators on 89 bills, this publication embodies the most exhaustive Tom C. Feeney President & and complete record of the 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 38 years, AIF has published Voting Records, an analysis of every vote cast by every legislator on major business issues. Yet voting records only tell part of the story.

  • 2012-2014 President Gaetz
    The Florida2012-2014 Senate Don Gaetz President Message from the President Don Gaetz President of the Senate t is a great privilege for me to welcome you to the Florida Senate, a dynamic legislative Iinstitution filled with tradition and historical reverence. I encourage you to visit Florida’s Capitol buildings and share a piece of our state’s past, present, and future by walking the halls and chambers where great leaders have gathered for generations. Tasked with representing the diverse interests of over 19 million residents, forty talented indi- viduals from across Florida are elected to serve in the Florida Senate. These citizen legislators meet on the Senate floor as equals, each with the opportunity to make public policy decisions that affect Florida’s future. I am honored to serve alongside this dedicated, hardworking group of public servants as the presiding officer of the Florida Senate during the 2012-2014 legislative term. We understand that this is a challenging time in our state’s history as Florida families and businesses continue to struggle with day-to-day realities associated with the economic recession. As we look to- ward economic recovery, my colleagues in the Senate and I will strive to make sound policy choices that will encourage private sector job creation and provide educational opportunities that allow our students to compete and lead in the global economy. As your elected representatives to the Florida Senate, we understand that you sent us to Tal- lahassee to ensure your views and objectives are accounted for in the legislative process. How- ever, your input plays a vital role in crafting successful legislation.

  • Republicans Maintain a Majority in 188 Races for Newly Redrawn Florida Legislative and Congressional Districts
    Republicans Maintain a Majority in 188 Races for Newly Redrawn Florida Legislative and Congressional Districts by Rheb Harbison Carlton Fields Senior Government Consultant 11.07.2012; 4:00 a.m. Republicans held their grip over both chambers of the Florida Legislature in the first election following the spring 2012 redraw of state’s legislative and congressional district lines. The redistricting exercise occurs every 10 years following the most recent US Census, and when complete requires all 160 members of the Florida Legislature to run for office. The decennial US Census also gave Florida two additional seats in the US House of Representatives, bringing the state’s delegation to 29 members: 27 in the US House of Representatives and two in the US Senate. All of the US House seats were up for election this year. Democrats held onto one of the two US Senate seats with incumbent US Senator Bill Nelson winning decisively over US Representative Connie Mack in Tuesday’s election. Miami Republican Marco Rubio, who was not up for election this year, holds the other US Senate seat. As well, voters decided the fate of 11 proposed amendments to the Florida Constitution at Tuesday’s General Election. All of the proposed amendments were placed on the ballot by the Florida Legislature. ► 2013-2014 Florida Senate Republicans have now controlled Florida’s Senate for over a decade. The Party won 26 seats and fell just one member short of achieving a Republican “Super Majority” with the defeat of incumbent Republican Ellyn Bogdanoff. Super Majority rule essentially means one party completely controls the chamber’s political agenda by controlling the procedural rules of the chamber.
