Tricia Cotham Switches Parties from Dem to Republican

North Carolina State Rep. Tricia Cotham has switched her political party to Republican, giving the GOP a veto-proof majority in the state House of Representatives in the middle of the legislative session.

WRAL TV first reported the possibility of a change on Tuesday.

“The party wants to villainize anyone who has free thought, free judgment, has solutions and wants to get to work to better our state,” Cotham said at a press conference Wednesday. “Not just sit in a meeting and have a workshop after a workshop, but really work with individuals to get things done.” (Excerpt from NEWSMAX.)
