City & State welcomes all voices and views from around Florida and wants yours to be heard.

We value diversity of thought and want to highlight a wide variety of arguments on various topics that interest our audience.

Here are some basic rules for submitting op-eds: 

• Submissions should be authentic and the content must be original and exclusive to City & State.
• Your piece should offer a clear point of view supported by facts and evidence.
• We appreciate submissions that offer unique perspectives on a story recently published by City & State or add depth to a discussion we’re having on social media.
• Submissions no longer than 1,000 words are more likely to be published.
• Please disclose if you have any potential conflicts of interest, as this is a politics publication. 
• Please include your contact information and a little something about yourself with your submission. A photo too is helpful.
