Democrat Senator Switches To The Republican Party!

It’s never too late to come to the right side.

As the Democratic party has shifted further away from its traditional Kennedy Democrat values and promoted progressive identity politics, dozens of lawmakers have switched their party affiliations in the last four years.

As the WLT Report reported, Florida State Representatives Hillary Cassel and Rep. Susan Valdé announced they would ditch the drifting Democratic Party and join the common-sense Republicans.

Now, the latest lawmaker to switch to the Republican party is a Democrat state senator from Kentucky.

Check out what Fox News had to report:

Kentucky state Democratic Sen. Robin Webb, who represents Kentucky’s rural 18th Senate district, is switching her party affiliation to Republican after she says the Democrat Party “left me.”

“First and foremost, I’m a mother, a rancher and a lawyer with deep personal and professional roots in Kentucky’s coal country,” Webb explained. “As the Democratic Party continues its lurch to the left and its hyperfocus on policies that hurt workforce and economic development in my region, I no longer feel it represents my values.

“It has become untenable and counterproductive to the best interests of my constituents for me to remain a Democrat.” Webb was originally elected to the Kentucky State House after defeating Republican Ramona Gee in 1998.

The Kentucky Lantern reported on how this impacts the Democrats in Kentucky:

With Webb’s switch, Democrats’ superminority in the Senate dwindles to six members. Republicans now have 32 seats in the chamber. She was often seen as the caucus’ more conservative member, sometimes voting with Republicans on culture war issues, like this year’s bill to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in public Kentucky universities.

Webb was also recently appointed by Stivers as the Senate co-chair of the Disaster Prevention and Resiliency Task Force, which will meet during the interim session. She sponsored a resolution to establish the panel.

Webb also often worked across the aisle to get support for her legislation, particularly on agriculture and rural policies. Earlier this year, one of her bills gained passage in both the Republican-controlled Senate and House. Signed into law by Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear, the bill established new allied animal health professional licenses for equine dentistry and animal chiropractic practice.

Stivers, of Manchester, welcomed Webb to the majority caucus in a statement and said Republicans have “reached a historic milestone of 32 members” in the chamber.
