From the Associated Press:
DENVER — A state representative abruptly left the Republican Party and became a Democrat, the first time in 20 years that a Colorado lawmaker has switched parties.
Rep. Debbie Stafford, 55, who also is a minister, said the Republican Party no longer represents her values … She added: “I am not leaving the Republican Party as much as I believe the Republican Party left me.”
Colorado lawmaker Ben Nighthorse Campbell switched parties (the other way) in 1995.
