Statement Regarding State Rep. Hillary Cassel’s Decision to Switch Parties
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Broward Democratic Party is deeply disappointed by Representative Hillary Cassel’s decision to switch from being a Democrat to Republican. Representative Cassel misled supporters from within the party, but the bigger disservice is to the voters in District 101 about what she stood for as an elected official for her own political gain.
It is very unsettling that Representative Cassel has now chosen to align herself with a state party that has consistently prioritized voter suppression and policies that disregard the economic and health needs of everyday Floridians. They also side with insurance companies over people and billion dollar corporations as opposed to small businesses and homeowners.
The Broward Democratic Party looks forward to working closely with the Florida Democratic Party to elect a Democratic representative who truly embodies the values of the Democratic Party, and the priorities of District 101.
