On April 24, Florida State Senator Jason Pizzo said he is changing his registration from “Democratic” to “independent.” He was first elected to the State Senate in 2018, and re-elected in 2022. Both times he had no opponent on the November ballot. He lives in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, which is part of northern Miami. See this story. Pizzo had been the Senate Minority Leader.
The last member of the Florida legislature who was not a Democrat or a Republican was Senator Lori Wilson. She was elected as an independent in 1972, and re-elected as an independent in 1974.
