State Rep. Susan Valdes announced Monday she is switching her party registration from Democratic to Republican.

In her statement, she pointed to new House Speaker Daniel Perez’s ‘vision for the House that focuses on empowering House members to work on real problems facing our communities.’

‘I have spent my adult life fighting to give a voice to the people of my West Tampa home. I have done so as a Democrat partly out of habit – I come from a family of Democrats – and partly because I believed the Democrats were the party most concerned with the working families I represent,’ Valdes said.

‘In the House, I have long known that no one has a monopoly on good ideas,’ she said. ‘I will not waste my final two years in the Florida Legislature being ignored in a caucus whose leadership expects me to ignore the needs of my community.’
