Now as Chairman of the Editorial board Meek will guide our publication’s growth and development of news, perspective and commentary for American decision leaders, focusing first on penetrating communities of color.

“Serving in the Florida Legislature and in Congress gave me a raw perspective on the true needs of the American people” Meek said. “The most important of these was the need to be heard. I learned to truly listen to and acknowledge what people are saying, and to engage them in a conversation about their ideas and our future. That is my vision for Politic365 – a real discourse and informed discussion on the political landscape of our country.”
