Summary

Florida Representative Susan Valdes announced her switch from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party shortly after her re-election.

She expressed alignment with Republican Speaker Daniel Perez’s vision and a desire to address her constituents’ needs.

While acknowledging potential policy disagreements, Valdes emphasized respect within the Republican supermajority.
