The Florida League of Cities is recognizing dozens of legislators for their work during the 2021 Legislative Session to protect the Home Rule authority of Florida’s municipalities.
The League is presenting its Legislative Appreciation Award to 30 legislators for their efforts to defend Home Rule during the 2021 Legislative Session.
Legislative Appreciation Award recipients are legislators who have advocated on behalf of the League and its member cities time after time. These lawmakers consistently voted in support of the League’s policy positions, offered amendments to help prevent preemptions and unfunded mandates and worked behind the scenes to rally support for local self-government throughout session. The list of 2021 recipients can be found below.
“The League’s mantra is ‘local voices making local choices” and we believe the government closest to the people should make the decisions that affect the quality of life of those citizens they’ve been elected to represent,” said FLC Legislative Director Casey Cook. “These legislators supported that ideal, and we owe them a great deal of thanks. On behalf of Florida’s 411 cities and its thousands of municipal officials, the League and its legislative team are proud to recognize these legislators and we thank them for their support.”
Each recipient will be presented with their award at a future date.
