                        HONORING TODD BONLARRON

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LOIS FRANKEL

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 17, 2026

  Ms. LOIS FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Todd 
Bonlarron, a distinguished public servant, and to congratulate him on 
his retirement after an exceptional career serving the people of Palm 
Beach County.
  For the past decade, Todd served as Assistant Administrator for Palm 
Beach County, helping to skillfully manage the day-to-day operations of 
a community of more than one million residents. His steady leadership 
touched every aspect of daily life--from clean drinking water and 
reliable infrastructure to strong public services and well-supported 
first responders--consistently delivering results through effective 
partnerships at every level of government.
  Todd's commitment to service extends far beyond his professional 
role. As a co-founder and President of The West Palm 100, he helped 
raise more than $600,000 for local nonprofits and contributed over 
50,000 volunteer hours to strengthen our community. He also served on 
the National Association of Counties Contribution and Retirement 
Advisory Board, the South Florida Fair Board, and the Palm Beach County 
Anti-Defamation League Board.
  A proud Floridian, Todd is a graduate of both the University of 
Florida and Florida State University. He began his career in the 
Florida House of Representatives, working for Representatives Bert 
Harris and Joe Spratt--where I first met him more than 25 years ago. I 
have had the privilege of watching Todd grow from an eager young 
staffer into an exemplary leader in our community--and a devoted 
husband and father.
  Todd Bonlarron's career is defined by dedication, integrity, and a 
deep commitment to public service. His leadership has made Palm Beach 
County stronger, safer, and more resilient. I am proud to recognize his 
contributions and wish him all the best in the next chapter.
