Welcome to

Next week Representative Will Weatherford will be named Speaker of the Florida House.

Today Weatherford sat down with the capital press corps to talk about his legislative agenda. Weatherford wants to fix the state’s voting problems, improve education and get better control over secret money funding dirty political campaigns.

“Florida’s in desperate need of both ethics and campaign finance reform and I believe you can’t do real ethics reform without having campaign finance reform,” said Weatherford.

Incoming Senate President Don Gaetz is onboard with ethics reform. It’s been more than 30 years since state lawmakers have passed an ethics reform bill.
