Description |
Smith left the Republican party on July 13, 1999, becoming an independent. Just a few months later, on November 1, 1999, he announced his return to the Republican party, noting that, since his home town in New Hampshire had not yet changed his voter registration, he had technically never left the Republican party.
Smith's return to the Republican party coincided with the death of Rhode Island Republican senator John Chafee, whose chairmanship of the Environment committee was then given to Smith.
