About the speaker

Sen. Tracie Davis represents Florida Senate District 5 in the Florida Legislature. She was elected to the Florida Senate in 2022 after serving from 2016-2022 in the Florida House of Representatives. In March, the Florida Senate Democratic Caucus unanimously elected Sen. Davis to lead them during the 2026-2028 term.

Sen. Davis is a lifelong resident of Jacksonville, graduating from William M. Raines High School, Edward Waters University and the University of North Florida.

For more than a decade, she was a special education teacher in Duval County, before serving as Director of Education for the Duval County Supervisor of Elections. She spent 13 years there, eventually becoming the Deputy Supervisor. During her tenure with Duval County Supervisor of Elections, Sen. Davis trained over 10,000 poll workers, registered more than 60,000 new voters and conducted 44 elections.

Sen. Davis is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., the Junior League of Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Women Network. She is also a youth mentor with Youth Leadership Jacksonville, AMI Kids and Year Up.

We meet at Riverplace Tower, also known as the Ameris Bank building. This is a walkable location along the Southbank Riverwalk and also convenient to the First Coast Flyer and the Skyway Riverplace Station.

There is limited free street parking, and paid parking is also available in a neighboring surface lot and garage.

Entering from the Riverwalk: take the stairs or elevator next to The Fresh Fork up to the Skyline Room.

Entering from Riverplace Blvd: take the escalators and walk toward the back of the building, behind the Ameris Bank offices.

Entering from the garage: make a right at the first bank of elevators and another right into the hallway between the Ameris Bank offices.

About Cuppa Jax

Cuppa Jax holds gatherings for neighborhood and community leaders that are open to everyone in Jacksonville. Join us on Wednesday mornings in the Skyline Room in the Riverplace Tower on the Southbank to discuss important issues facing our city.

Scheduled speakers will talk for 10-15 minutes. The rest of the time is spent with Q&A and discussion of relevant issues brought up by participants. We also encourage attendees to make community announcements at the beginning of the program.

Some important things to note:

No membership fee. Unlike many other discussion forums in Jacksonville, there is no membership fee to attend or participate in Cuppa Jax. We do ask attendees to cover the cost of coffee and breakfast provided by the Fresh Fork so we have access to the space we meet in. If you cannot attend due to the cost of the event, please email [email protected] and we will be glad to cover your ticket.

Topical and timely. We are seeking local thought leaders who can discuss and educate about important community issues to speak at future dates. We don’t accept offers to speak about or pitch organizations. Cuppa Jax is non-partisan, and does not endorse candidates or issues. An offer to speak does not constitute an endorsement. It is simply an opportunity for the community to have a meaningful discussion.
