Monroe County Legislator Tony Micciche is switching from the Republican to the Democratic Party, according to an announcement from County Democratic Party Chair Brittaney Wells.
Republicans will still hold a 17-to-12 majority on the legislature despite Micciche’s defection.
Wells calls Micciche a champion of working class families. He’s been on the legislature since 2011. He represents the 26th District which covers Gates, Greece and part of Rochester.
