Lifetime Democrat from Atlanta, Georgia, Mesha Minor, Joins the Republican Party

Georgia Democratic politician defected to the Republican Party Republican Party in conflict over cuts to police funding and school choice.

Mesha Minor, state legislator, said she was «harassed and intimidated» by fellow Democrats after splitting up with them. on a number of issues.

In February, she voted with the Republicans to limit a possible cut in law enforcement funding to no more than five percent a year. She then voted for another Republican bill to give disadvantaged children private school vouchers.

On Tuesday, Ms. Minor said her Democratic colleagues had turned their backs on her.

She said, “They crucified me. When I decided to speak out in support of safe communities and refused to support efforts to end police funding, they did not support me. They left me.

«When I decided to speak on behalf of underprivileged children in support of school choice, my fellow Democrats did not support me.»

«Lifetime Democrat»

She added: “As a lifelong Democrat, I blindly followed a vision far removed from reality. It's time to put the people and sound politics above politics and false narratives.»

Ms. Minor represents the strongly Democratic District 56, with a population of 190,000, in the Georgia Legislature in Atlanta.

Now she will join the Republican majority there.

Georgia Republican Chairman Josh McCune said, «This is a historic day for Georgia Republicans.»

In a Twitter statement, Ms Minor said: “Today I made the decision to leave the Democratic Party. I represent the blue district in the city of Atlanta, so this was not a political decision for me. It was MORAL.

“I will NEVER apologize for being a black woman with my own opinion. For too long, the Democratic Party has been able to use and insult the black community.»

She said the Democratic Party had the support of more than 90 percent of the black community, adding that «what can we show in this?»

Math and Reading

The Republican school choice law she backed provided vouchers for the amount $6,500 (£5,030) to students in the worst schools in the state to pay for private schools.

In the end, this bill failed due to divisions among Republicans in rural areas of the state. A bill to end police funding was passed and signed into law by Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp at a shooting range in May.

At the time, Mr. Kemp said: denigrate the men and women who leave their families every day and risk their lives to protect all Georgians.

“This far-left movement will endanger our communities and our law enforcement officers and leave our most vulnerable at risk ”.

In 2020, Vernon Jones, then a Democratic member of the Georgia Legislature, endorsed Donald Trump and spoke at the Republican National Convention.

At the time, Mr. Jones said : «Let me get one thing clear: I haven't changed, the Democratic Party has.»

«It's been a toxic combination of radical left and liberal elites in San Francisco and Hollywood who have taken over my former party.»< /p>
