Former Florida Representative Betty Holzendorf Honored by Governor De Santis with Half-Staff Flag Salute!
CNS News– Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has issued an order for flags to be flown at half-staff to honor the memory of former Representative Betty Holzendorf, who passed away at the age of 84 on February 29, 2024. Holzendorf served as a dedicated public servant, representing House District 16 from 1988 to 1992 in the Florida House of Representatives, and later representing District 2 in the Florida Senate from 1992 to 2002.
Governor DeSantis expressed his respect and admiration for Holzendorf, recognizing her as one of the state’s most influential political figures. Known for her ability to navigate controversial issues while advocating for the disenfranchised, she earned widespread respect across Florida. Her dedication to economic development programs and community improvement initiatives left a lasting impact on residents throughout the state.
Holzendorf’s commitment to public service extended beyond her tenure as an elected official. She continued to actively engage in efforts aimed at enhancing her community and serving its residents. Her legacy is likened to that of Shirley Chisholm, the first African American woman elected to the U.S. Congress, yet Holzendorf’s unique style and unwavering determination set her apart in a class of her own.
