In an effort to build relationships between co-ops and our legislators, CHELCO District 2 Trustee Terry Pilcher and Vice President of Member Services and External Affairs Emily Cowan, along with leaders from other co-ops, recently met with US House Representatives Jimmy Patronis (FL 1) and Neal Dunn (FL 2), who each serve a portion of CHELCO’s service territory.

In their meetings, CHELCO and other co-ops discussed the importance of favorable legislation that helps co-ops provide reliable and affordable energy to their members. In addition to the meetings held with Patronis and Dunn, the Florida Electric Cooperatives Association (FECA) coordinated meetings with all of Florida’s electric co-ops and their respective Representatives.
