Summary
Florida state Rep. Susan Valdes, a lifelong Democrat, abruptly switched to the Republican Party, citing frustration with being ignored in the Democratic caucus.
Valdes, who represents District 64 near Tampa, said she wants to focus on solving problems for her community rather than protesting.
Her defection bolsters the Florida GOP’s historic 86-34 House majority, drawing criticism from Democrats who called her move a betrayal of her constituents.
Republicans, including Gov. Ron DeSantis, welcomed Valdes, praising her as a strong community advocate and valuable addition to their party.
They could remain in the party and act / vote according to the other party lines. (This already happens)
There really is no remedy for certain levels of corruption / deception other than that other thing we’re not allowed to talk about.
