The city council is made up of 19
council members who represent the residents of Jacksonville.
The City Council makes all the laws for the city (the “Congress” of Jacksonville)
- thus the reason we need to participate in holding our elected officials accountable
for their actions.
The Mayor is the “President” of
Jacksonville.He has many
responsibilities, to include passing and failing legislation.
3.U.S. Congressman (Florida’s
4th District) – Ander Crenshaw (R).
Congressman Crenshaw represents NE
Florida (to include most of Jacksonville).He represents us in the House of Representatives (part of Congress)
which create federal laws.In other
words, if you do not like the way things are going on a national level – he is
the man to contact.
Both Senator Martinez and Nelson
represent the state of Florida in the Senate (the second part of
Congress).Contact either of these two men if you are not happy with the way things are going on a federal level.
