$ Keep us at the Table on the Hill! BIDDING FOR BENJAMINS Have you heard about the new political fundraising challenge? NUCA of Florida President Jordan Lee, Utility Service Company, established a new program to help fund our statewide political contributions entitled “Bidding for Benjamins.” The premise is simple: when your company is awarded a bid or new project, pass on $100 (a.k.a. a Benjamin) or more if it’s a really big project to NUCA of Florida to be used exclusively for political contributions to candidates that will support our industry issues. If every contractor, supplier, manufacturer and professional associate would take on this challenge, NUCA of Florida could successfully increase their political clout in Tallahassee. We will keep a running tally on the Bidding for Benjamins program and the winner will have bragging rights. Additionally, PAC Chair Tony Zebouni has committed to creating a prize to be awarded at the 2018 Annual Conference, July 12-15 at Ocean Reef, Key Largo. We received more Bidding for Benjamin’s dollars in June and July! Johnson- Davis sent another $500 in both June and July, bringing their total for $2,500 for 2018 John Woody Inc. also sent in en additional $500! As of July 31, the 2018 totals are: • • • • Johnson-Davis: $2,500 Centerline Utilities: $1.300 John Woody Inc.: $1.500 Utility Service Company: $600 Won’t you tap into your competitive spirit and help us grow our PAC for the 2018 election cycle?
