Conflict of Interest: Can You Be a Democrat and a Christian? with Mark Miloscia — Part 1

Former Air Force Pilot turned Washington State Senator Mark Miloscia served as a Democrat for more than twenty years in the Legislature. In 2014, he switched to the Republican Party and ran to represent the 30th Legislative District in the State Senate – winning by more than ten percentage points. Mark has a powerful story of coming to faith in Christ and subsequently realizing that the platform he was serving under as a Democrat could not be reconciled with his faith, starting with the wanton destruction of the unborn.
