Thank you for packing the room last Wednesday for a lively, no-notes-needed conversation with Republican Party of Florida Chairman Evan Power and Executive Director Bill Helmich on the State of the Florida GOP. Only at Tiger Bay do you get redistricting math, Miami-Dade flip talk, and a five-seat congressional pickup prediction — all before dessert.
A big thank you to our fearless emcee Chairman Steve Birtman, and to member Matthew Ubben for a sharp introduction of our speakers.
Highlights from the Program
Our speakers covered:
- Florida’s historic 1.4 million GOP voter registration advantage
- How Miami-Dade flipped red — and why they believe it’s not a one-time event
- Talk of a mid-decade redistricting, with Chairman Power predicting the GOP could pick up 3 to 5 more congressional seats
- Helmich’s take on strategy: “If we wanted to play the same game…” — and why he says Florida won’t
- Lessons RPOF is exporting to other states — and why Florida is now the example, not the exception
