Georgia Democrat Lawmaker Defects To GOP, Citing Party's Treatment Of Black Community And Support For Law Enforcement

Democratic Georgia state representative Mesha Mainor announced she is leaving the party to become a Republican.
Mainor expressed frustration with Democrats over issues like school choice and defunding the police.
She criticized Democrats for not supporting disadvantaged children and their treatment of black voters.
Mainor said her decision is a moral one, not political, even though she represents a deep blue district.
Her switch follows other recent moves by Democrats at the state level to the GOP.
