As a not-for-profit electric cooperative guided by cooperative principles, SECO Energy encourages member participation in the democratic process at both the state and federal level. To support that mission, we provide our Member-Owners with information on their elected officials in Florida and Washington, DC.
Our members’ voices play an important role in supporting affordable, reliable electric service and shaping energy policies that affect our communities.

GRASSROOTS EFFORTS
Each year, legislators introduce hundreds of bills related to the energy industry. Before these proposals become law, SECO Energy—along with electric cooperatives nationwide—works to educate lawmakers about how proposed legislation could impact the electric grid, the environment, and energy costs for members.
At times, SECO Energy may ask Member-Owners to contact their legislators to share how certain bills could significantly increase energy costs. Registering to vote and speaking out helps ensure that member voices are heard in state and federal decisions.

America’s Electric Cooperatives PAC is a nonpartisan political action committee that represents the interests of electric cooperatives, their members, and employees. Member-Owners can support their cooperative by participating through the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).
NRECA leaders, along with cooperative leaders from across the country, visit Washington, DC, to educate lawmakers about legislation and regulations that could affect electric cooperatives and energy affordability. To help promote policies that protect electric cooperatives, America’s Electric Cooperatives PAC relies on voluntary support. If you are interested in contributing, fill out the form below.
