FLORIDA STATE SENATOR KIRKPATRICK DUMPS DEMOCRATS TO JOIN GOP
Nicholson: "Republicans Have Won the Party Switching Powerball"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: MIKE COLLINS

WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1998 TEL.: (202) 863-8550

WASHINGTON (JULY 29) - Republican National Committee Chairman Jim Nicholson today welcomed Florida State Senator George Kirkpatrick to the Republican Party. Kirkpatrick announced his switch today during a barnstorming tour of Northern Florida with state GOP leaders.

"This is almost as good as winning the lottery," Nicholson said. "Republicans have won the party switching Powerball! Instead of gambling on ineffective, big government policies of the past, sensible Democrats across America are tossing away their Democrat membership cards and finding a new home in the Republican Party. Welcome aboard, Senator Kirkpatrick!"

The 18-year veteran lawmaker becomes the 371st elected Democrat nationally - and 39th in Florida - to ditch the Democrat Party and become a Republican since Bill Clinton and Al Gore took office in 1992. The Florida Republicans now hold a 25-15 advantage in the Senate.

"It's one more sign that the Democrat Party in Florida - and throughout the U.S. - is falling apart," Nicholson concluded.
