| Description | Former state representative Andy Nunez, who quit the Democratic Party and said he would never become a Republican, reversed himself Tuesday.
Nunez, who recently worked as a lobbyist for the Carlsbad Irrigation District, switched his voter registration from independent to Republican, and said he would run for his old seat in the House of Representatives next year.
The Hatch politician, 77, was elected to the House as a Democrat six times between 2000 and 2010. He bolted the Democratic Party in January 2011 after feuding with the late House Speaker Ben Lujan, who stripped Nunez of his chairmanship of the Water and Natural Resources Committee. |
