Upshur County Judge Lauren Parish is leaving the GOP.
Tristan Hardy, KYTX 1:37 PM. CDT October 26, 2016

GILMER - After months of consideration Judge Lauren Parish said she's done with the GOP. In a statement she released on Facebook the Judge said she watched the Republican nominee for President has made a mockery of the country.

"My beliefs and values and have been disenfranchised by the national party," Parish said. "Felt like it would violate my conscience to continue to be affiliated with the Republican party."

Judge Parish is now a Democrat and the second judge in Texas to leave the Grand Old Party. Switching from Republican to Democrat is a bold move to some people, however others said it's political suicide.

"My my values and beliefs are more important to me than popularity," Parish said. "They're more important to me than any political loyalty."
