The Citrus County Legislative Delegation meeting on October 30, 2023, focused on several key issues, including election integrity, gender ideology in schools, and immigration policies.

A significant portion of the discussion centered on election integrity. Delegates proposed legislation to establish a one-day voting holiday and limit early voting to the weekend before Election Day. They also called for the requirement of verifiable paper ballots for all elections and suggested eliminating mail-in voting, except for military members and voters with valid reasons for not attending the polls on Election Day.

Another major topic was the presence of federal law enforcement in Florida. Delegates expressed strong opposition to the establishment of the Capitol Police office in Tampa, arguing that it undermines state authority and violates both the Florida and U.S. constitutions.

On the subject of gender ideology, the delegation praised the enactment of House Bill 1069, which protects students and teachers from being compelled to use preferred pronouns or engage with gender ideology in schools. They urged lawmakers to extend these protections to public employees as well.

The meeting also addressed immigration issues, with delegates advocating for stricter laws against illegal immigration. They requested legislation similar to Texas Senate Bill 11, which would empower law enforcement to arrest individuals entering the state illegally. Additionally, they thanked Senator Angolia for collaborating with Commissioner Diana Finnegan on a resolution urging Congress to take action on border security.

Finally, the meeting included a condemnation of remarks made by Commissioner Rebecca Bays, who suggested that Citrus County residents should not collectively oppose illegal immigration for fear of upsetting potential threats. Delegates expressed concern that her comments could inadvertently provide harmful information to those with malicious intent.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the delegation's commitment to addressing election integrity, educational policies, and immigration enforcement in Citrus County.
