<p>A Democratic Georgia state lawmaker in a deep blue district announced this week that she was leaving the party and becoming a Republican over the issue of school choice.</p>
<p>&#8220;I represent a blue district in the city of Atlanta so this wasn’t a political decision for me,&#8221; state Rep. Mesha Mainor (R-56) <a href="https://twitter.com/MeshaMainor/status/1678794658615537670">tweeted</a> on Tuesday. &#8220;It was a MORAL one.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mainor <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/georgia-democrat-defects-gop-after-she-says-dems-crucified-abandoned-her">said</a> in an interview that she was disappointed in her Democrat colleagues for not standing by her when she &#8220;decided to stand up on behalf of disadvantaged children in support of school choice.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They crucified me,&#8221; she said. &#8220;When I decided to stand up in support of safe communities and refused to support efforts to defund the police, they didn’t back me. They abandoned me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mainor also took a shot at the Democrat Party for how it has treated black voters for decades.</p>
<p>&#8220;For far too long, the Democrat Party has gotten away with using and abusing the black community,&#8221; she said. &#8220;For decades, the Democrat Party has received the support of more than 90% 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.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;The most dangerous thing to the Democrat Party is a black person with a mind of their own,&#8221; she later added.</p>
<p>Mainor said she&#8217;ll still work across the aisle with the other party to solve issues and that she&#8217;s received a lot of support since announcing that she is becoming a Republican.</p>
<p>She said that she is excited to help the Republican Party &#8220;focus not just on preaching to the choir but growing the congregation.&#8221;</p>
<p>There have been multiple instances over the last several months of state-level Democrats switching to the Republican Party, including in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pushed-me-out-north-carolina-democrat-defects-hands-gop-veto-proof-control-of-legislature">North Carolina</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/louisiana-democrat-switches-to-republican-party-adds-to-states-gop-supermajority">Louisiana</a>, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democratic-west-virginia-state-senator-switches-to-republican-party">West Virginia</a>.</p>
