Texas Democratic county official announces switch to the GOP, cites border policies: 'An unprecedented crisis'
Fox News
Texas Democrat Kira Talip Sanchez, who serves as Kleberg County Attorney, announced her switch to the Republican Party on Saturday, citing border security policy as a main reason.
Kleberg County is located in southern Texas and borders the Gulf of Mexico. While it has historically leaned blue, the county voted for former President George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004, and narrowly voted for former President Donald Trump in 2020.
Sanchez cited the "unprecedented" border crisis as a main reason for her switch.
