California state Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil switched from Democrat to Republican as her rural district northeast of the Central Valley has moved toward the GOP.
A moderate California Democratic state lawmaker announced Thursday that she is switching to the Republican Party while criticizing her former party's leadership and policies. State Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil of Jackson said she had long been a Democrat, but she and the Democratic Party no longer have the same values since she was elected in 2022.
“Her record on tackling crime, protecting communities from sexually violent predators, and prioritizing her constituents speaks for itself.” Her switch gives Republicans nine votes in the 40-member Senate, still well under the majority they need to control the chamber. Democrats hold supermajorities in the Assembly and Senate at the Capitol. Democratic state Senate President Pro Tem Mike McGuire said her decision “is disappointing for voters” who elected her in 2022.
