  • U.S. Rep. Bill Posey spent decades urging greater transparency and accountability in government. Heading into 2024, he felt optimistic he could serve one last term with President-elect Donald Trump back in the White House.

The article from Florida Politics discusses U.S. Rep. Bill Posey's reflections on his 16-year tenure in Congress as he prepares to retire. Posey, who has represented Florida's 8th Congressional District, highlighted several key legislative accomplishments including his role in the passage of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act, which redirected funds from presidential campaigns to pediatric research, and his efforts in securing funding for the Indian River Lagoon. He also mentioned his work on the Space Force, which was established under the Trump administration, and his involvement in various other bills aimed at improving national security, economic development, and environmental protection. Posey expressed disappointment over the sudden end to his service due to redistricting, which made his district less favorable for his re-election, and he criticized the process as lacking transparency and fairness. He plans to spend his remaining time in office focusing on constituent services and ensuring a smooth transition for his successor.
