Politics BREAKING: Local Republican Can’t Take it Anymore
In another blow to the Washington State Republican Party’s efforts to moderate its image, Republican State Representative Rodney Tom of Bellevue is quitting the party and becoming a Democrat:
“I realized the far right has complete control of the party and for me to be effective for my constituents I need to be a Democrat,” Tom said.He said being a Democrat is not only a better fit for the changing political demographic of the 48th Legislative District, but a more comfortable fit for his ideology, which includes support for legal abortion, gay rights and higher taxes for transportation.
As a newly-minted Democrat, Tom will be challenging Republican Luke Esser for his state senate seat in the 48th.
Rodney Tom is gonna get shit from the GOP.
