Today, FDP Chair Terrie Rizzo released the following statement on Jose Oliva’s refusal to seat Rep-elect Dan Daley before legislative session:

“Jose Oliva’s effort to deny the people of HD 97 a voice in Tallahassee is an insult. Oliva is leaving the people of Parkland without representation during a legislative session where Republicans intend to force through an NRA backed bill that would arm our teachers. This is a shameful effort to try and silence their voices, while he continues to lift up national embarrassments like Anthony Sabatini.

“Jose Oliva should follow the guidance of the Executive Order and immediately swear-in Rep. Dan Daley.”
