Roy Moore accuser running for Florida House seat with no party affiliation

A woman who said she dated former Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore when she was a teenager is running for a seat in the Florida House with no party affiliation.
Deborah Gibson said she was not able to run as a Democrat because of state election laws that say a primary candidate must have been a member of the party for at least a year, The Palm Beach Post reported.
Gibson was previously registered as a Republican but had switched to Democrat last month. She is now running as "unaffiliated" in the race.
"The past five months have crystallized what's been coming to me for a decade more gradually-- the Republican Party is no longer the right fit for me," Gibson said in a statement posted to fundraising site Crowdpac.
