Buddy Dyer

What I admire about Buddy Dyer is his sheer staying power. Becoming Orlando's longest-serving mayor since 2003 isn't about flash; it's about steady, unglamorous stewardship of a city the whole world visits but few think to govern well. A University of Florida-trained lawyer who once led Senate Democrats, he strikes me as the kind of patient operator local politics quietly depends on. I find more to respect in that durability than in any headline-grabbing career. Running the machinery of a tourism capital for two decades takes a discipline I genuinely admire.
