Release...

Dec. 29, 2010

GOPAC Chairman Frank Donatelli released the following statement regarding former Democrat state legislators switching to the Republican Party:

"We are pleased with the decision of these men and women to leave the Democratic Party and join with us. They are adding to the ranks of Americans who want to put result-oriented ideas into action to get us moving in the right direction. Each of these legislators' insight, experience and commitment to common sense, conservative policies will make our Party stronger.

GOPAC is dedicated to educating and electing the next generation of Republican leaders. We take seriously our mission as the most influential Republican organization committed to Republicans in state and local governments. Our success enables the Republican Party to govern more legislative chambers, empowering state legislators to move forward pro-growth, pro-free market principles and ideas."
