Mission: To champion liberty in Florida by systematically applying the LP Florida Platform into legislative action, informing the electorate, and refining our principles based on real-world political engagement, thereby making the LP Florida the most principled and effective voice for freedom in the state.
Goal: The committee's goal is to translate the LP Florida's principles into tangible political influence in Tallahassee. We will achieve this by producing the party's official, principled analysis of all relevant legislation, using this output to identify legislative champions and opponents of liberty. This process will, in turn, serve as a primary tool for educating voters, growing the party's membership, and making the platform a living document that guides our path to a freer Florida.
