Former state Democratic party chairman changes to GOP

RALEIGH, N.C. - Former state Democratic Party chairman Lawrence Davis has switched his affiliation to the Republican Party, saying his personal position on issues such as same-sex marriage and abortion differed from those of Democrats.

"Basically, it's an effort to bring some coherence between my beliefs and my actions," said Davis, who was regarded as a conservative said. "I felt my (former) party was on the wrong side of right-wrong issues."

Davis, 67, said he switched his party affiliation in February and didn't want a lot of fanfare.

In 1989, then-U.S. Sen. Terry Sanford tapped Davis as state Democratic chairman in an effort to broaden the party's appeal to moderates and conservatives. Davis drew heavy criticism from party progressives and women's groups when he said he thought the party should reconsider its strong support for abortion rights.
