2018 Florida Midterm Election Results BIPC.com BIR’s Government Relations Team has compiled the Midterm Election Results from yesterday historic turnout in Florida into this quick reference guide for you and your clients. Enclosed are the results from the statewide races for Governor, Attorney General, Chief Financial Officer, Commissioner of Agriculture and US Senate. The Florida Congressional Districts, Florida Senate and House of Representative races are also listed as well as the outcomes of the judicial retention ballots and the Constitutional Amendments that were on the ballot in Florida. The Sunshine State saw over 8.23 million ballots cast in this year’s midterm election which is a substantial increase. Traditionally, midterms do not have as large a turnout as presidential years. By way of comparison, the 2016 presidential race in Florida statewide turnout numbers were 9,546,922 votes which was at that time 74.22% turnout of voters. Current numbers show active registration in Florida at 13,278,070. These new found electorates will likely redefine politics in this state for several years. The incoming group of elected officials will have to get started quickly as the Organization Session is scheduled for November 20, 2018 while Regular Session is set to convene on March 5, 2019. We hope you find this resource useful and will continue to keep your Florida BIR Government Relations Team in mind for any legislative or regulatory needs in Tallahassee.

    IAVA Recipient: Secretary Mattis Letter: Greetings, First, thank you for your service and sacrifice and for your incredible leadership that so many in the military and veteran community have experienced and respect. As you know, more than 1.5 million veterans have have educated themselves with the Post-9/11 GI Bill, and almost 70% of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) members have used or transferred this benefit to a dependent. It could very well be the most transformative federal benefit created. The new restriction on Post-9/11 GI Bill transferability to only those with less than 16 years of service is a completely unnecessary reduction of this critical benefit, and it will ultimately hurt our military recruitment and readiness. In a time of war, it remains enormously important to recruit and retain qualified servicemembers, especially with an ever-decreasing pool of eligible recruits. For years, IAVA has been at the forefront of this fight. We led the effort to establish this benefit in 2008 and we have successfully defended it in recent years. We cannot allow our GI Bill to be dismantled or abused. This is why I am standing with my fellow IAVA members to respectfully request that you reverse this counterproductive policy change that creates barriers to access to these transformative benefits. The GI Bill has been earned by millions of men and women on the battlefield and around the world and it should not be subjected to arbitrary restrictions that limit its use. Again, thank you for your leadership and I ask that you take action now to reverse this decision.

    2018-Mid-Year-Political-Contributions

    1 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2018 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies -- from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more -- that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon and its affiliates during the first half of 2018. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Executive Vice President, Public Policy and General Counsel 2 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2018 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Democratic Process What are the Verizon Political Action Committees? regulations govern many aspects of the contributions process including the setting of monetary contribution limitations and The Verizon Political Action Committees (PACs) exist to help the establishment of periodic reporting requirements.
