Now a State Senator, this longtime Democrat is fed up with his party in Washington. The Democrat exodus continues.
From nola.com:
BATON ROUGE – State Sen. John Alario, a former two-time House speaker and a fixture in state politics for nearly four decades, is now a Republican.
After weeks of saying he was likely to abandon his Democratic allegiance by the end of the year, Alario quietly made it official late last week.
“I just casually went in and took care of it,” Alario, of Westwego, said. “I had been pondering it for some time and didn’t want to make a big deal of it.”
