Sunburn â The morning read of whatâs hot in Florida politics â 6.3.21
Good Thursday morning.
A top-of-Sunburn birthday shoutout to my brother from another mother,Â
Reggie Cardozo. Florida and D.C. politics know Reggie as a former Obama White House staffer and a top-flight political strategist, but I know him as a dedicated husband to
Stephanie, father to
Fallon, and
Sutton James, and a trusted friend to many. He’s also my boat buddy, a fellow connoisseur of Bloody Marys and dirty martinis, and just funny as hell.
Happy birthday, brother.
Converge Government Affairs has added top Jacksonville lobbyist
Deno Hicks as a partner in the firm.

The ending of a Session is never a surprise. It’s like harvest season. What you get at the end is the result of months, maybe even years of tilling, planting, watering, tending, and shepherding.
Against the odds and despite many challenges, the 2021 Legislative Session ended on time. The House Speaker and the Senate President were together for the iconic dropping of the hankie. There weren’t any strained smiles or forced compliments. They stood side by side, thanking each other as much as they talked about themselves.
Easter and Passover, as brought to you by these lobbyists and political associations
However you celebrate this springtime, take a moment to enjoy the long weekend.
Last year, people were optimistic the pandemic would be over by Easter 2020. Here we are in Easter 2021 and it’s still going. But there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
For the fifth year running, the holiday sneaked into April barely. That’ll be the case for another couple years thanks to
For the dedicated few in The Process, this weekend and the Legislature’s lax Friday and Monday
schedule will serve as a much-needed halftime break before the back half of the 2021 Legislative Session.

For many more, the day will begin with a bright-and-early wake-up and a trip to their place of worship to celebrate the Christian holiday. And for most, Sunday will bring good times with friends and family as well as festive fare such as egg hunts.
