Elected Democrat leaves party after standing up for Americans over illegal aliens
'Yes, I was called racist for my vote,' state Rep. Carla Cunningham said in July.
An elected state representative in North Carolina is no longer a registered Democrat after she crossed the aisle to vote with Republicans on immigration.
Last week, news broke that state Rep. Carla Cunningham was no longer registered as a Democrat. She had represented the Democratic Party in office since she was first elected to the 106th Congressional District seat in 2012. Cunningham then confirmed in a statement that she "came to realize" that she wants "to serve the people, not a party."
'All cultures are not equal.'
"Being an independent thinker does not align with party politics, and I will never compromise the needs of my constituents to satisfy a political agenda," her statement continued, according to the Charlotte Observer.
Cunningham's voter registration now says she is "UNA," or unaffiliated.
