Georgia state Rep. Mesha Mainor said she believes the Republican platform on education and public safety aligns more with her values.
Mesha Mainor, who represents Atlanta in the Georgia House of Representatives, announced she is no longer a Democrat.
Mainor said she decided to switch to the Republican Party because their platform aligns more with the issues she feels are most important in her district: education and public safety. "When I opposed efforts to defund the police, many of my colleagues called me a sellout. I laughed at them," Mainor stated."The only group I have EVER sold out to is my constituents who deserve to live in safe communities, not war zones."
