Democratic Senator Leaves Party, Joins Republicans

If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of liberals across the state
of Arizona crying out all at once, as one of their own turns away from the
dark side.
State Sen. Carlyle Begay — a Navajo — has switched over from the left —
aka, the wrong — over to the right.
Check it out.
From BizPacReview:
Arizona State Senator Carlyle Begay, a Navajo (who also call themselves
Diné) whose district includes Navajo and Hopi tribal lands, announced
Monday that he is switching to the Republican Party.
Begay, 34, was appointed to the Arizona Senate in 2013 as a Democrat and
re-elected in 2014.
In a moving video, Begay describes his Native American roots and the
desperate conditions and challenges his constituents face. “This is not
how our distinguished ancestors saw our future,” he said. “Change must
happen now.”
Praising the GOP for working with him to improve conditions for his
constituents, Begay said that his decision “will not be popular for some.”
“I clearly see the Republican Party as a party of progress, the party
of opportunity, and moving forward, my party,” the video concludes.
With this up-and-coming young legislator’s addition, Republicans now
control 18 of 30 seats in the Arizona upper chamber.

Begay was welcomed into the party by Sen. John McCain and Jeff Flake.
This is a pretty big move and Democrats in the state are definitely going to
be feeling the sting from this loss. But where they lose, liberty-lovers
gain.
Hopefully Begay will continue to grow in his understanding of the first
principles of this country and do all in his power to stand boldly on them
and defend the liberty of all people. |
