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.

Her defection strengthens Republican control in the Florida House and highlights growing divisions within state politics.
