2026 FMEA Legislative Rally

Tallahassee
Category: FMEA Signature Events

FMEA’s Legislative Rally is one of the most effective ways for you to meet and lobby your state legislators on electric utility issues. With legislation pending that affects all FMEA members, and with a significant financial impact, it is important for every utility to be represented at the Rally.

Please make appointments with legislators on Tuesday in advance of the Rally. Legislative committees are not scheduled far in advance, so their staff may not want to schedule your appointment until a week or two prior.

Find your legislators on the directory at FMEA's Legislative Resources page.
