A member of the Georgia state House of Representatives has switched her party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, after breaking with her former party over issues like school choice and policing.
“My name is Rep. Meisha Mainor and today I made the decision to leave the Democrat Party,” Ms. Mainor wrote on Twitter Tuesday. “I represent a blue district in the city of Atlanta so this wasn’t a political decision for me. It was a MORAL one. I will NEVER apologize for being a black woman with a mind of my own.”
