James Fishback announced Sean Lozano as his Lt. Gov running mate back on June 25, hyping up his law enforcement experience as a "decorated" officer from Lauderhill PD where he worked for three years.

Turns out records show Lozano was terminated in December 2025 and deemed "permanently unfit for duty." An internal affairs investigation sustained findings that he pushed an elderly woman to the ground during a traffic stop incident in March 2025, lied about it (body cam from another officer caught him saying he threw her down), and wasn't wearing his body cam.

He also admitted on his application to failing a psych eval in 2017 and a background check in 2019 for other departments.

Fishback is a clown. His statement about taking a crew with ARs to handle 'thugs' is just downright scary.

Wow four years, I am sure the guy is counting the time in the academy and his FTO time as well. What a joke.

It's picks like this that Fishback would be a disaster as governor.  Imagine a whole executive branch with similar hangers on.  

It's why governor isn't an entry level elected position.  I know Scott did it, but besides keeping a Democrat out of the office, here's a complete list of his accomplishments in 8 years:






That is all.

Its strategery.

Lt governor is a pointless position that exists only for a line of succession in case the governor dies or becomes incapacitated.
No power or authority and the position exists solely as a contingency

Since fishback says a lot of polarizing things and is likely to piss off mossadians and others, then it makes perfect strategic sense to name a disaster as his Lt. as insurance against anything happening to him

...Yeah, I feel like that might work at some point after you're either elected or at least in the actual election, but right now it just screams "I'm an unattractive candidate who just picked an even more unattractive candidate as my running mate"

That makes absolutely no sense.

Yes, the office of Lt. Governor is a waste of time and has no power. But having a bad pick as Lt. Governor in a PRIMARY is a really bad idea. There's a reason why no one in the primary has announced their Lt. Governor pick.

Fishback is campaigning to be the next Nick Fuentes, not your Governor.

Indeed. Nothing personal against Israel, I dislike heavy foreign investing in our elections. Donald’s stance on data centers is concerning as well.
You see that head come apart?
