Rep Mesha Mainor announced that she is leaving the Democratic Party. 'I represent a blue district in the city of Atlanta so this wasn’t a political decision for me. It was a MORAL one. I will NEVER apologize for being a black woman with a mind of my own.'
Mainor has represented the state's 56th Congressional District since January 2021 and is joining the Republican Party as of Tuesday. Earlier this year, Mainor was the only Democrat to vote"yes" on S.B. 233, a bill that would have expanded Georgia’s voucher program to give $6,500 to the families of Georgia public school students in the bottom 25% academically.
"For far too long, the Democrat Party has gotten away with using and abusing the black community," she said."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?" Georgia Republican Party State Chairman @JoshMcKoon welcomes Representative @MeshaMainor to the Republican Party: “This is a historic day for Georgia Republicans.”Mainor is one of several Democratic lawmakers to announce their departure from the party over the past year. In October 2022, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard announced she was leaving the party, denouncing lawmakers on the Left for promoting policies that “[racialize] every issue & stoke anti-white racism.
