The longest-serving Democrat in the Louisiana state legislature, Francis Thompson is switching to the GOP giving Republicans a majority in Baton Rouge for the first time in the state's history.
The former Democrat-turned Republican said his values and principles guided his decision to switch.
>>"Let me be clear—nothing has changed," Thompson said in a statement soon after the switch. "There are values and principles that I firmly hold onto that guide my decisions. My conservative voting record over my years in the Legislature speaks for itself."
>>"The push the past several years by Democratic leadership on both the national and state level to support certain issues does not align with those values and principles that are a part of my Christian life," he continued.
