Special Session Throws Off RPOF Sunshine Summit, Rescheduled for November

The special sessions dominating the Florida Legislature this year have thrown a wrench into the Republican Party of Florida's original plan to hold a presidential summit in Orlando during the month of October.

The event, which was originally scheduled for Oct. 23-24, has now been rescheduled to Nov. 12-13 at the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando.

The rescheduling comes after the announcement that the Florida Legislature will meet in Tallahassee for a special legislative session from Oct. 19-Nov. 6 to hammer out the redrawing of Senate districts. 

As Sunshine State News previously reported, former Vice President Dick Cheney is scheduled to speak at the event, which is scheduled to host several Republican presidential hopefuls. 

"The Sunshine Summit is a unique opportunity and event where presidential candidates will share their vision for the nation with the more than 2,500 expected activists and grassroots leaders in one-of-most influential primary and general election swing states," said RPOF Chair Blaise Ingoglia.
