THE REPUBLICAN LIBERTY CAUCUS OF FLORIDA
2025 LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
The Republican Liberty Caucus is a national grassroots organization working to advance the principles of individual rights, limited government, and free markets.
For thirty years the Republican Liberty Caucus has been the strongest, most consistent voice for these principles within the Republican Party. Many Republicans talk about these principles, but the RLC has taken the lead in promoting Liberty candidates and advocating for Liberty legislation. We believe that less government means more liberty and we work through state and local chapters, and with our member activists all over the country to oppose government excess and demand accountability to the American people and the Constitution.
These principles have been the determining factor in the preparation of this legislative package. We call upon the members of the Florida Legislature to abide by these same principles as they decide the future of the great State of Florida and impact the lives of millions of Floridians.
If you have any questions or there is additional information we can provide, we hope you will not hesitate to contact us.
In Liberty!
Bob White
Chairman, RLC Florida / 321-403-4441 / chair@rlcfl.org / rlcfl.org
