Description | Rep. Richard Singleton has gone from Republican to independent to, now, Democrat.
The lawmaker switched his party affiliation to Democrat at Cumberland Town Hall last week so that he can lead a "Democrats for McCain" group in Rhode Island.
Singleton, who is not running for re-election, says he thinks there are a lot of Democrats in the state who support Republican Sen. John McCain’s presidential bid. He says there are about a dozen other legislators who are part of his pro-McCain group, but he wouldn’t identify them.
He tells The Providence Journal that he’s tired of party affiliation and that it doesn’t matter if he’s a Democrat or a Republican. |
