A Democratic commissioner in New Mexico says she’s switching to the GOP because of the Democratic Party’s “far-left views” on abortion and other issues.
“I’ve been a Democrat my entire adult life. So this is not a decision I take lightly. But the truth is that the modern Democrat party does not share the New Mexico values that I hold to,” Isabella Solis, who holds a seat on the Doña Ana County Commission, said in a statement sent to the Las Cruces Sun-News.
