Former LA County Sheriff Leaves Democratic Party After 40 Years
Former Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva announced that he was leaving the Democratic Party, with whom he has been a registered voter for more than 40 years, and joining the Republican Party.“As of today, I’m leaving the party of paid protests, purple hair, and pronouns, and joining the party of faith, family, and freedom,” Villanueva said during a recent speaking event.
Villanueva joins a growing trend of disaffected California Democrats leaving the party over the past year.
A month later, former State Senate leader Gloria Romero, who was once viewed as a top candidate for higher office, also announced her decision to join the Republican Party.
“Today, I say goodbye, adios, I’ve had enough. I am now another near lifelong Democrat who is joining the growing number of people—including key groups, Latinos— who are leaving the Democratic Party,” she continued. “This is not the Democratic Party that I once championed, I don’t recognize it anymore and I cannot continue.”
She went on to credit President Donald Trump for her decision, calling him “the champion of working people.”

They used to be the party of the working class but they got stupid. More millionaires gave to Democrats.
"More millionaires gave to Democrats"
LOL You didn't see the front row at Trump's inauguration did you?
But actually, you're right. Those were billionaires.
