BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – U.S. Congressman Mike Haridopolos (FL-08) issued a statement honoring former Congressman Bill Posey following news of Posey’s passing.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of former United States Congressman Bill Posey, who passed away yesterday, surrounded by the love of his family.

Bill dedicated his life to serving the people of Florida and our nation with integrity, humility, and an unwavering commitment to public service.

His passing marks the end of a remarkable career that spanned decades of leadership at the local, state, and federal levels. He approached public office not as a path to personal recognition, but as a solemn responsibility to serve others honorably, faithfully, and effectively.

His legacy will endure through the countless lives he touched, the communities he strengthened, and the values he championed throughout his years of service.

Those who knew Bill personally understood that beyond the titles and accomplishments was a kind, grounded, and deeply loyal man who loved his family above all else.

U.S. Congressman Mike Haridopolos (FL-08) issued a statement honoring former Congressman Bill Posey following news of Posey’s passing.

During this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and childhood sweetheart, Katie, and their two daughters, Cathi and Pamela.

We also extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire Posey family, his friends, former staff members, and all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him. May they find comfort in the extraordinary impact of his life and service.

Congressman Posey represented Florida in the United States House of Representatives from 2009 to 2025, following distinguished service in both the Florida House of Representatives and the Florida Senate.

Throughout his career, he earned a reputation as a principled conservative, a steadfast advocate for fiscal responsibility and government transparency, and a tireless supporter of America’s space program and the communities he proudly represented along Florida’s Space Coast.

Bill Posey will be remembered with gratitude, admiration, and profound respect. His dedication to public service, his love for Florida, and his steadfast belief in the promise of America will never be forgotten.”
