Rep. Tricia Cotham of Charlotte quietly joined the state’s GOP with no fanfare — only a favorite on a tweet welcoming her to the party’s ranks, WRAL News reported.
A Republican House member told the outlet that the party had been hoping Cotham would switch parties at one point in the session, but the prospect became realistic last week.
With Cotham on their side, Republicans will dominate both the state House and Senate, as well as hand the party a veto-proof majority against the Democratic governor. Rep. Tricia Cotham was welcomed to the party’s ranks in a Twitter post after she reportedly jumped her party’s ship.“Rep. Tricia Cotham campaigned as a Democrat and supporter of abortion rights, health care, public education, gun safety and civil rights,” said House Democratic Leader Robert Reives in a statement. “The voters of House District 112 elected her to serve as that person and overwhelmingly supported Democratic candidates up and down the ballot.
