The Florida League of Cities recently recognized Florida Rep. Bill Partington with its 2025 Legislative Appreciation Award for his work during the 2025 Legislative Session to protect local decision making of Florida’s municipalities.
“Thank you to the Florida League of Cities for this incredible honor," Partington said. "I’m deeply grateful to be recognized with the 2025 Legislative Appreciation Award for defending local decision making and empowering municipal leadership across our great state.”
Legislative Appreciation Award recipients are legislators who have consistently advocated for the Florida League of Cities and its members. Throughout the 2025 Legislative Session, these lawmakers actively supported or defended local decision-making. Their actions included consistent support of the League’s policy platform, proposing amendments to prevent preemptions and unfunded mandates, and garnering support for local self-governance behind the scenes.
