| Description | State Rep. Laura Bradford said today she is considering leaving the Republican Party, in part because an ethics investigation against her is proceeding although Denver police admitted she didn't use her position to to get out of a drunken-driving arrest.
The Mesa County lawmaker said needs "windshield time" to think about her decision, and will reflect on what to do Friday during her four-hour trip home.
"I'm frustrated by the lack of the support, not just over the last five days but during last session, too," Bradford said, pointing to a run in last year with Republican Rep. Amy Stephens, now the House majority leader.
If Bradford did become an unaffiliated voter, it would impact House leadership. Republicans, with Bradford, hold only a 33-32 lead over Democrats. |
