NCLCV Statement on Tricia Cotham
April 4, 2023
Raleigh, N.C. – Today, in response to the reports that Representative Tricia Cotham will switch her party affiliation, NC League of Conservation Voters (NCLCV) released the following statement from Dan Crawford, director of governmental relations:
Tomorrow Tricia Cotham is going to lie to the voters in House District 112 and claim a political party betrayed her and gave her no other choice. However, Tricia is the one committing an act of betrayal and that is to the voters who fulfilled their civic duty to vote, and chose to vote for her. Turncoat Tricia needs to have the courage of her convictions and resign and let the people who elected her make a worthy replacement that represents the values they voted for in November.
