Keys REP

Keys REP A political action committee has been formed to change how voters elect the Monroe County Board of Commissioners.

Democracy in Action
Bringing our County government back home to the local level with Single-Member Districts by providing residents of Monroe County with more control over local community issues and maximizing elected officials accountability. Key West, FL - A newly formed political action committee, the Florida Keys Regional Election Protection (REP),advocates switching from county-wide election

of Commissioners to one in which each district elects its own representative. REP is kicking off a drive to ask residents to sign petitions to place a referendum on the 2022 ballot to enable single-member districts. Currently, voters from the entire Monroe County elect all five district Commissioners. For example, voters in Key Largo also vote for the County commissioner who represents Key West. Kathryn Norris, Chair and Christoper Massicotte, Treasurer officially filed the paperwork on Tuesday, November 2, 2021 to officiate the PAC. Norris noted, “Keys REP is filing as a political action committee on Election Day 2021, when citizens across America are voting for their government representatives. Our goal is to give Monroe County voters stronger local representation on their Board of County Commissioners.” Keys REP would like to gather 6,000 signatures from registered Monroe County constituents by the end of June 2022. Board members of Keys REP believe that single district voting will maximize elected officials’ accountability to their constituents. If you are interested in helping in any way, or, in becoming a volunteer to assist in gathering signatures for the petition, please visit the page at www.Facebook.com/FLKeysREP or email at [email protected]

Two years ago, I asked how each group felt about endorsing:
Single District County Commissioner Elections

Some of you were in favor, but your group would not officially endorse this campaign.

Since then, we have gotten half the signatures needed
to put it on the ballot,
and we have until January to get the other half.

Also,
this is turning out to be a bi-partisan effort
as Republican and Democratic Political Groups
are endorsing to have Single District Elections

I write to you now to ask if things have changed - if you would be willing to ask your group if they too have changed their minds. We are signing up each community group who wants to endorse the effort. There has been a lot of politics going on since we last met, please take time to communicate with your community group.

Please email back to me either way :
