Capital Tiger Bay Club was honored to have Senate Minority Leader, Jason Pizzo as our featured speaker. We gained exclusive insights into the upcoming Special Session, discussed the potential outcomes of the next midterm elections, and much more. We deeply appreciate Senator Pizzo’s willingness to travel under less-than-ideal weather conditions to help us kick off 2025 with such a strong and thought-provoking start! Thank you again to everyone who was able to attend.
Senate Pizzo was elected to the Florida Senate in 2018. As the Senate Minority Leader, he currently serves on eight committees. Representing twenty cities across coastal Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, Senator Pizzo served as the chair of the Broward Legislative Delegation, vice chair of the Senate’s Resiliency Committee, and chair of the Joint Legislative Auditing Committee, ensuring the priorities of this district are always at the forefront. For the 2025 Legislative Session, Senator Pizzo will serve as the vice chair of the Regulated Industries Committee.
