Since 2021, Rep. Mesha Mainor has been a member of Georgia’s House of Representatives serving the 56th district as a Democrat. Yet fed up with the policies her party-mates have been backing recently, she quit the Democratic Party this week and became a Republican. Here, in an open letter to the nation, she explains in her own words why she switched.
Dear America,
My name is Mesha Mainor. I was born in Atlanta in 1975 to Shirley Mainor and Willie Denson.
Atlanta’s westside community raised me; it’s the home of ATL’s greatest rappers, Shawty Lo, T.I., Killer Mike, Lil Baby, Lil Jon, Bone Crusher, Trillville, Lil’ Scrappy and more.
Some of my best friends growing up were 2 Chainz, Rasheeda and Da Kaperz.
