Delegation Meetings & Town Halls

Speak With Your Legislators Before Session

Every year before the Florida Legislature convenes, each county holds legislative delegation meetings or town halls. These forums bring together all state House and Senate members whose districts include parts of that county. They are open to the public, nonprofits, businesses, community groups, and individual constituents, and offer a key opportunity to:

  • Share local priorities and concerns

  • Ask questions directly of your representatives

  • Offer testimony (in person or virtually) on bills or issues

  • Build relationships with your delegation

These meetings are especially important because once the legislative session begins in Tallahassee, it becomes harder to access committee agendas, submit new issues, or set up one-on-one meetings. Use the delegation meeting to shape the agenda.

What to Know & How to Prepare

When & Where
Delegation meetings usually happen in the weeks before the session starts. In 2026, the Florida Legislative Session begins on January 13.
Check local county notices and the state delegation schedule for meeting dates, times, and locations. Schedule Here.

How to Participate

  • Many counties require advance registration, so sign up early.

  • Prepare your remarks in multiple lengths (e.g. 30 seconds, 90 seconds, 3 minutes) depending on how many people are speaking.

  • Focus on 2–3 clear points.

  • Share your personal experience or data to make your case stronger.

  • Bring handouts or supporting materials for legislators, if allowed.

Suggested Talking Points & Messaging
You may find helpful templates and guidance for issues like health care, environment, the economy, and more in the resource from Progress Florida. Use a version that matches your time allotment and local priorities.
