“Jim Kolbe, a Republican who represented Southern Arizona in Congress for 22 years, confirmed Friday that he left the GOP — in 2018.
“I’ve told people but I didn’t make a public announcement,” Kolbe said Friday.
The Pima County Recorder’s Office confirmed Kolbe changed his registration to Party Not Designated in September 2018.”
Just another thought. . .Kolbe sounds like a New World Order leader wanna be.
His interests? Altar boys? Oh, he’s not a priest.
