King County, Wash. prosecutor Dan Satterberg, who was elected as a Republican, said on Tuesday that he is now a Democrat, the Seattle Times reported.

The three-term prosecutor for the Seattle-area county noted that the change is partly because he is facing his first re-election challenge this year.

His opponent, public defender Daron Morris, called Satterberg’s move "opportunistic."

In 2016, the office of King County prosecutor was changed to be officially nonpartisan thanks to a county charter amendment approved by voters. Both candidates will appear without party affiliation in the ballot.
