A Georgia Democrat announced that she is switching parties after her leftist colleagues “crucified” her when she chose to support school choice in the state legislature.
“When I decided to stand up on behalf of disadvantaged children in support of school choice, my Democrat colleagues didn’t stand by me,” Mainor told Fox News Digital, asserting that her Democrat colleagues “crucified” her for supporting school choice and standing against efforts to defund police. She said she has always stood as the type of politician who will “work across the aisle to deliver results for my community and the people I was elected to represent.
“For decades, the Democrat Party has received the support of more than 90 percent of the black community. And what do we have to show for it? I represent a solidly blue district in the city of Atlanta. This isn’t a political decision for me. It’s a moral one,” she continued.as Mainor posted a video in May, revealing she found herself “in the crosshairs of my Democratic caucus in the Georgia House of Representatives.
“I voted yes for parents and yes for children, not failing schools,” she said, declaring that she will not apologize to her colleagues for refusing to bow to their demands.
