Joe Lisuzzo, has always believed that “Actions speak
louder than Words.” Joe is a retired business owner, a husband, father,
grandfather, and graduate of California State University and UCLA where he
received his Masters Degree.
In 2019, after 40 years in business, Joe sold his ice cream
manufacturing company and stepped up to become the campaign manager for
Republican congressional candidate James Bradley in District 33, helping
Bradley to win his primary election in 2020.
In 2021 and 2022, Joe himself ran for office and became the
LA GOP and CA GOP endorsed candidate for CA State Senate districts 28 and 30.
On a budget of only $10,000, Joe victoriously forced Democrats to spend over $1
million dollars just to defeat him!
In 2022, Joe co-founded “WLARA” (The West Los Angeles
Republican Assembly), a CRA chapter, where Joe was elected President, twice. As
WLARA’s president, Joe grew WLARA’s contact list to 500 subscribers allowing
him to promote countless Pro-Police and Pro-Firefighter rallies, as well as
fundraisers for the L.A. county teachers who were wrongfully terminated during
Covid-19.
In 2023, when Joe heard that 200,000 George Gascon Recall
signatures had been disqualified by the LA County Registrar, Joe and his WLARA
team helped “cure” thousands of signatures by traveling to Norwalk
throughout that year.
In 2024, when Joe saw there was no candidate running for his
LAUSD, School District 1, in only 3 weeks time Joe and his team obtained 1,400
signatures and the $500 filing fee to get a conservative candidate on the
ballot.
After the 2024 March primaries, Joe was determined to
promote all of L.A.’s Republican candidates who were moving on to the November
general election. Joe, with the help of his WLARA team, created the “Had
Enough? Vote Republican!” electronic freeway billboard campaign and raised
$23,000 in six weeks to make it happen. From Oct 1 through Nov. 5th, millions
of LA and Orange County motorists travelling on the 405,10, 5, 91, and 710,
were reminded (in English and Spanish) on 8 huge billboards, that if they’ve “Had
Enough”: Crime, Inflation, Open Borders, Homelessness, Gas Hikes and Taxes
to simply: “Vote Republican!”
Joe Lisuzzo is a proven leader who never gives up, or backs
down from any challenge. If elected LA GOP Chair, Joe promises to proudly fight
for our Republican brand and take it to new heights. Joe plans to bring
transparency and accountability to the office, while simultaneously raising
funds to grow the LA GOP and make it one of the most recognized Republican
counties in America. With your support, prayers and vote, Joe envisions a “new
and improved” LA GOP that will make all Republicans proud again. Please vote
for Joe Lisuzzo for LA GOP Chair on Saturday, January 25, 2025.
