‘Cannot toast a tortilla on an electric range’: Latina politician ditches Democratic party over gas stove crackdown

Former California Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero said on Friday she is abandoning her party, taking aim at Democrats’ crackdown on gas stoves.

Romero said she has “had enough” and has become misaligned with the Democratic Party, prompting her to change her party affiliation to Republican, according to NBC News 4 San Antonio. The former state Senate majority leader’s remarks follow a Department of Energy (DOE) plan to enact a new “energy conservation standard” for gas stoves and electric cooking equipment.
