| Description | Jim Kolbe, a Republican who represented Southern Arizona in Congress for 22 years, confirmed Friday that he left the GOP — in 2018.
"I've told people but I didn't make a public announcement," Kolbe said Friday.
The Pima County Recorder's Office confirmed Kolbe changed his registration to Party Not Designated in September 2018.
"I thought the Republican Party had veered off in a direction that doesn't represent the values of the past — fiscal responsibility, strong national defense, free and open trade and a respect for human rights. I think they've lost their bearing," he said. |
