Lake County, Florida, has approved a resolution naming a road in honor of Charlie Kirk. The resolution passed in a 5-0 vote, making the county the “1st local government in the nation to name a road after the great [Charlie Kirk],” Lake County Commissioner Anthony Sabatini announced.
“Thank you to my colleagues on the Lake County Commission & to Floridians across the state who supported this proposal!” he wrote on social media. “Hoping more counties & cities across the country follow our lead!”
Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet called the plan “amazing.”
“In what I hope is the first of many, Lake County, Florida has just named a road after Charlie Kirk,” Kolvet said. “I would love to see Charlie Kirk highways all over America as an enduring reminder of his sacrifice for this country. Thank you [Anthony Sabatini] for spearheading this!”
Another Florida effort aims to rename a Miami-Dade road. The bill, filed by Florida House Speaker Juan Carlos Porras (D), would designate a “portion of S.R. 985/S.W. 107th Avenue between S.W. 24th Street and S.R. 90/S.W. 8th Street” near Florida International University in Miami-Dade County to be named “Charlie Kirk Memorial Avenue.” The bill further directs the Florida Department of Transportation to erect “suitable markers” for the memorial avenue.
Porras said he and Kirk “founded the first [Turning Point USA] chapter in FL back in 2015 where this road is going to be, now it will honor his legacy.”
Similarly, Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen introduced legislation to rename State Route 202 in honor of Kirk.
