Winston County Republican Party Chairman Mark Forsman said, "We welcome Coroner Gregory to our party. Ours is a large tent and we have plenty of room under it for other elected officials who, like Scott, have been pushed to the point of no return. Our party's platform pertaining to the rights of the unborn, citizens’ rights to bear arms afforded by the 2nd amendment, and even providing secure borders for our citizens are only three of the major differences between the two major political parties."
Forsman noted that numerous county officials in several of our neighboring counties who were elected under the banner of the Democrat Party in recent years have switched to the Republican Party. "As Coroner Gregory has said, a political party can only move so far away from the core values of the citizens before elected officials have to seriously consider their party affiliation,"
Forsman said. "We believe this trend will continue and we will gladly welcome those who wish to join us here in the Grand Ole Party."
