If you weren’t with us in Orlando for the 53rd Annual Meeting, you missed an incredible, record-breaking event! With more than 1,800 attendees in the Sunshine State, we easily smashed our previous attendance record! Not only that, but we held discussions on the biggest issues facing our states today, including data centers, energy affordability, education freedom, election integrity, tax reform, and so much more.

"For the last 250 years, America has sacrificed to preserve the unalienable rights outlined in the Declaration of Independence." In a letter to his wife, Abigail, on July 3, 1776, John Adams stated: “I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost us to maintain this Declaration…yet through the gloom I can see the rays of ravishing light and glory.” For the last 250 years, America has sacrificed to preserve the unalienable rights outlined in the Declaration of Independence.

At ALEC, through the principles of our Founding Fathers, we strive to create a nation stronger, freer, and more prosperous for our children and our children’s children. That is why the work we do in the states is so critical. Data centers and artificial intelligence are the focal point of today’s state policy discussions.
