9 Fellows. 9 Portfolios. One Standard.
Other organizations react to bills. Our Fellows write them.
Each Fellow tracks every bill in their portfolio, writes the position papers, drafts and reviews legislation, testifies in committee, grades the Legislature in the annual scorecard, and answers the press on that subject.
A project of Florida Eagle Forum, Inc. · Since 1973.
