Valin Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 The Daily Signal S.A. McCarthy April 08, 2024 A Nebraska state legislator is transitioning from blue to red after his own party censured him for having a pro-life stance. Nebraska state Sen. Mike McDonnell officially left the Democratic Party last week after 40 years and became a Republican. In a written statement explaining his decision, McDonnell wrote: “I have asked the Democratic Party to respect my religious based pro-life position. Instead over the last year they have decided to punish me for being pro-life.” Last month, the Nebraska Democratic Party voted to censure McDonnell, a Catholic, over his pro-life record, contending that his stance “adversely affected the reproductive rights of Nebraskans and the rights of transgender individuals in the state.” Douglas County Democrats also voted in January to deny party funding to McDonnell due to his votes against abortion measures and against gender transition procedures for minors.
