A South Florida lawmaker is looking to rename a Miami-Dade County road to honor the late Charlie Kirk.

Republican State Representative Juan Carlos Porras has filed the bill ahead of the 2026 legislative session. Porras wants to designate a portion of Southwest 107th Avenue, between Southwest 24th and 8th streets, as Charlie Kirk Memorial Avenue.

Kirk, a conservative activist, was assassinated in Utah earlier this month. The 2026 Legislative session begins January 13th.
