City of Westlake, FL – The Florida League of Cities (FLC), the united voice for Florida’s municipal governments, recently recognized Westlake Vice Mayor Greg Langowski with a 2025 Home Rule Hero Award for his hard work and advocacy efforts during the 2025 Legislative Session. Langowski worked tirelessly throughout session to promote local voices making local choices by sharing insights, local data, and real-world examples that helped inform state lawmakers and elevate the voice of Florida’s cities.
“This session, local leaders stepped up once again, bringing persistence, perspective, and a strong voice for local decision-making to every conversation,” said FLC Chief of Legislative Affairs Casey Cook. “The League and our legislative team deeply appreciate their leadership and are proud to recognize the meaningful difference they made for Florida’s cities.”
Home Rule is the ability for a city to address local problems with local solutions with minimal state interference. Home Rule Hero Award recipients are local government officials, both elected and nonelected, who consistently responded to the League’s request to reach out to members of the Legislature and help give a local perspective on an issue.
“I’m honored to receive the Home Rule Hero Award and to stand alongside so many dedicated public servants across Florida,” said Vice Mayor Greg Langowski. “Strong communities are built through local voices and local choices. I remain committed to ensuring that Westlake and municipalities like ours have the tools and authority to make decisions that best serve our residents.”
