Pritt was initially elected to the state House as a Democrat in 2022 but changed his political affiliation to Republican the year after.

State Republicans have filed numerous bills seeking to restrict gender-affirming care for transgender minors, ban trans student-athletes from playing on sports teams that match their gender identity, and nullify cities’ non-discrimination ordinances.

To be clear, this semantic argument feels much more like virtue signalling than anything else, but I’m open to be convinced it’s more than that.
