Florida Senate Democrat Leader DITCHES Party, Goes Independent — Says Voters Are Fed Up with ‘Political Hacks’ (VIDEO)
State Senate Minority Leader Jason Pizzo has officially announced he is leaving the Democrat Party and registering as an independent.
Pizzo, long viewed as a moderate voice within Florida’s increasingly radical Democrat caucus, delivered a fiery rebuke of partisan politics in a statement confirming he had FedExed his change-of-party registration to Broward County’s Supervisor of Elections.
The paperwork is expected to be processed by 8:00 AM tomorrow.
“Our constituents are craving practical leaders, not political hacks,” Pizzo said on the Senate floor.
In his statement, Pizzo didn’t mince words about the current state of the Democrat Party.
He painted a picture of a party consumed by special interests, consultants, and political posturing.
“We are entrusted to be guided by our conscience, and while I suppose it’s easier in theory than it is in application, even my worst detractors have no valid claim that I can be bullied, that I can be bought, or even borrowed for a special interest.”
“I am my father’s son, even in his death. I am my mother’s son, while she is still alive.”
“I will not miss another one of her birthdays, and I will return to who I was when I became a young man—independent: independent in thought, in my passion, and in my conscience, not consultants,” he concluded.
