Rep. Kevin Kiley of California left the GOP, becoming the House's only independent, citing redistricting and polarization.
Rep. Kevin Kiley of California has left the Republican Party and will serve as an independent in the U.S. House of Representatives, effective immediately.
The change follows redistricting that shifted his district into a Democratic-leaning area, prompting Kiley to run without a party affiliation in the newly drawn 6th District.
He will remain in the House as the only independent member, continuing to caucus with Republicans for committee assignments and administrative support.
His move reduces the Republican majority to 217-214.
Kiley cited partisan redistricting and political polarization as key reasons for the switch.
