Former Phoenix City Councilman Tom Simplot has always cast himself as a moderate who can work with both sides of the aisle. But lately, Simplot has been changing party affiliations like it’s going outta style.
Simplot has been a registered Democrat, Republican and independent — all within the space of the past three months.
It’s well known that Simplot was a Republican when he won election to the Phoenix City Council. He switched his registration to Democratic in late 2006, after the Democratic Party convinced Arizona voters to reject a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
