The purpose of the Gulf States Counties and Parishes Caucus is to promote a clearer understanding of mutual problems of Gulf Coast counties and parishes and their citizens, to establish a single source of information concerning county and parish governments in the Gulf region, and to advocate on behalf of those residing in Gulf counties and parishes before federal government. The caucus focuses on issues such as the National Flood Insurance Program and funding for the RESTORE act.
Representatives of the caucus are elected by the Florida Association of Counties' Board of Directors pursuant to the GSCPC bylaws adopted July 13, 2019. Membership is open to all county and parish elected government officials from Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida.
