Today, the Florida Department of Law Enforcementannouncedthe arrest of Miami City Commissioner Alex Daz de la Portilla, a former Republican Majority Leader in the Florida Senate, on charges including money laundering, bribery, and criminal conspiracy. In response, the Florida Democratic Party has issued the following statement:

The corruption that Alex Daz de la Portilla is accused of is truly staggering, and shatters the trust voters have in elected officials, said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. There is no place for that kind of behavior in our democracy. We challenge our Republican counterparts to join us in a forceful condemnation of government corruption, regardless of political party.

Our political leaders have a responsibility to serve the public with integrity something that Commissioner Daz de la Portilla has failed to do. In light of the severity of these charges, the Florida Democratic Party calls for Commissioner Daz de la Portillas immediate resignation.
