For the first time since reelection, Rep. Jennifer Canady, R-Fla., will hold mobile office hours in Lakeland on Wednesday, Nov. 18, from 10 a.m. to noon at the main branch of the Lakeland Public Library, 100 Lake Morton Drive.

Held on the third Wednesday of each month, mobile office hours are designed to bring constituent services directly into the community and make it easier for residents to access assistance without traveling to the district office, according to Canady’s office.

No appointments are necessary. Canady, who will be in Tallahassee for Organizational Session, will not attend office hours in November.

District staff will be available on-site to discuss legislative issues, assist with issues related to state services, including unemployment, professional licensing, veterans’ benefits, child and family services, transportation matters, and more.

“Staying connected with the residents I represent is my top priority,” Canady said in a statement. “These monthly office hours provide an opportunity to hear directly from our community, address concerns and help individuals navigate state agencies and services. We want every constituent to know that our office is here to listen and help.”

Canady, a Republican, has represented Florida’s 50th district in the House of Representatives since 2022. District 50 encompasses most of city of Lakeland and portions of Polk County. Canady serves as the chair of the Education and Employment Committee and is a member of the Budget, the Rules and Ethics, and the Security and Threat Assessment committees.
