Former state Rep. Ana Rivas Logan is leaving the GOP and joining the Democrats over immigration issues. Rivas Logan is claiming she was pressured by now-Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera to back an Arizona-style law in Florida back in 2011 when she was a freshman in Tallahassee.

After redistricting in 2012, Rivas Logan was pitted against fellow state Rep. Jose Feliz Diaz, R-Miami, in the primary but lost the contest. Republicans are insisting Rivas Logan switched parties due to her continued political ambitions.

Rivas Logan is getting national attention, including from the Huffington Post, for her party switch.
