Alabama Elected Official Switches from Democratic to Republican Parties, but Republican Party Committee Asks Him to Switch Back

In December 2010, Alabama Circuit Court Judge Howard Hawk, who serves in Marshall County, announced he had changed his party affiliation from Democratic to Republican. But earlier this month, the Republican Party Executive Committee of that county passed a resolution asking Judge Hawk to switch back to the Democratic Party. The judge declined that request, and says he has support from the state Republican Party. See this story.
