In 2018, Pizzo ran again and received 54% to Campbell's 46% in the primary.[1][2] Pizzo was elected to the Florida legislature on November 6, 2018 without opposition.[3] In 2022, Pizzo was re-elected to the Florida Senate without opposition.

On February 10, 2023, the Florida Senate Democratic Party caucus unanimously elected Pizzo to succeed Lauren Book as Senate Democratic leader during the 2024–2026 term.[4]

On April 24, 2025, Pizzo announced that he had left the Democratic Party and registered as an independent.[5] He had considered a run for governor of Florida in 2026 as an independent.[6]
