Mayor, Dylan Rumrell Honored with
2025 Home Rule Hero Award
St. Augustine Beach, FL – May 28, 2025 – The Florida League of Cities (FLC), the united voice for Florida’s municipal governments, recently recognized St. Augustine Beach Mayor, Dylan Rumrell with the 2025 Home Rule Hero Award for the second year in a row. Mayor Rumrell continued his hard work and advocacy efforts during the 2025 Legislative Session working tirelessly throughout session to promote local voices making local choices, protect the Home Rule powers of Florida’s municipalities and advance the League’s legislative agenda.
“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.
Mayor Rumrell commented, “I am humbled and honored to be back-to-back home rule hero recipient! I owe it to the people of the City of St. Augustine Beach, city staff, and our police department. I’ll always work hard for YOU. Let’s make it a three-peat!”
