The Floridaville: Get to know the people behind the Florida names you know State Representative Emily Slosberg is a member of the Florida Legislature representing the state's 91st House district in Palm Beach County, which includes the cities of Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, and Delray Beach.  She was born a twin and grew up in a loving family.  When she was 14 years old, she was in a horrific car accident that took the lives of her twin sister and friends.  To honor her sister and friends, she focuses her work on motorist safety.  The road from tragedy is not an easy road but Rep. Slosberg reminds us all to be patient with ourselves and supportive of others going through it.      

The new law means police can pull drivers over in Florida for texting behind the wheel. Previously, the state's ban on texting and driving was a secondary offense.

Slosberg tells us about an event on Saturday, July 29 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. where fresh fruits and vegetables will be given away to families who need them. The event is being held in conjunction with the nonprofit organization Farm Share.
