Alan Williams Honored as Legislator of the Year by NBCSL

Florida Rep. Alan Williams, D-Tallahassee, was named as the Legislator of the Year by the National Black Caucus of State Legislators (NBCSL), a group which represents almost 675 lawmakers from 46 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The NBCSL praised Williams for his work on extending voter hours, his efforts to ensure the state Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles educates Floridians on drowsy driving and his role in the creation of a Florida Civil Rights Hall of Fame.

We are delighted to present this award to a legislator who has stood with us for so many years, said Tennessee state Rep. Joe Armstrong. Representative Williams is a tireless advocate for civil rights in his home state of Florida and across the entire nation.

I am grateful to NBCSL, an organization that has made a significant impact in the lives of millions (of) Americans, Williams said. It is such an honor to be presented with the Legislator of the Year award. This recognition underscores the hard work of all our members whose core values will continue to propel our organization.
