“A Democratic state senator who is infuriated by his party’s views on gay marriage and abortion rights is running for re-election on the Republican Party line, and says he is considering switching his allegiance to the Republican majority leader, Dean Skelos.

Senator Ruben Diaz Sr., a Pentecostal minister who represents the 32nd district in the south-central Bronx, said he isn’t loyal to either party but is seeking to advance his conservative policy positions by taking advantage of the Republicans’ slim margin of control in the chamber and running as both a Democrat and a Republican.”*
