Kansas Republican State Senator Barbara Bollier officially changed her party affiliation from Republican to Democrat. Citing “frustrations that have been ongoing for nine years,” Bollier said Wednesday that the inclusion of anti-transgender language in the party platform  had proved a breaking point for her. “Morally, the party is not going where my compass resides,” Bollier said. “I’m looking forward to being in a party that represents the ideals that I do, including Medicaid expansion and funding our K-12 schools.”
