State senator speaks out after ditching Democrats: 'Enough is enough'

A Florida state senator who quit the Democratic Party last week said he believes he was pumping money and legitimacy into a party that’s not addressing the needs of working Floridians.

Jason Pizzo announced on the floor of the state Senate in Tallahassee that he was changing his party affiliation to no party affiliation. "Our constituents are craving practical leaders, not political hacks," he said.

Pizzo, a former homicide prosecutor in Miami-Dade County, told Fox News anchor Trace Gallagher Monday on "The Story" that Florida Democrats were bending over backwards to be critical of law enforcement and finding excuses to seek amnesty for people who commit crimes.

"We've had bills recently, people squatting in people's homes or hotels, transient occupancy in hotels and the Democrats just, you know, keep showing up saying have mercy, have mercy. But to some extent, enough is enough. And that's where we are," he explained.

Data from the Florida Department of State during presidential election years show Republicans making significant gains among registered voters.

In 2012, there were roughly 558,000 more registered Democratic voters than registered Republican voters in Florida. In 2024, there were roughly 1.2 million more registered Republican voters than Democrats in Florida.

Good riddance!!!!

He's right, the Democratic Party in Florida has been a complete shit show for awhile. While the Democratic party has made gains in places like Georgia and Texas, it seems like it's in free fall in Florida. It's like they aren't trying and constantly run horrendous candidates.

Ok and

So he's now a no party member of the state senate. I guess the GOP wasn't that interesting either.

 

[Josie]

"rudderless"? What a weird word.

 

[JerryW]

New week, new set of threads about the decline of the Dems....

 

[Gatsby]

Not that he's wrong, but is a random state senator going from one party to independent really newsworthy? I bet it happens dozens of times a year, for both parties.

The more the Dems are "rudderless" etc......the closer Trump will be to establishing a ONE party system.

The Democrats are busy with corny props like sitting on the capital steps for 12 hours. Or singing a bunch of silly songs. What a weird cult.

So that's a reason for him to flip parties? This confuses me. If the party isn't doing enough, why didn't he step up? Instead, he takes the Benidict Arnold route. If you can't beat em, join em. Typical MAGA weakness. The democratic party does not need his type of spineless capitulation.

This shows one thing. The guy is not interested in governing. He's interested in securing a job in politics and ruling the people. He's no different than 98% of the GOP in congress.
