THE WINNING TEAM

Two Eastern Shore mayors leave Democrats for GOP: Ehrlich says decision 'seems to be a trend' (Greg Garland, June 7, 2003, Baltimore Sun)

The Democratic mayors of two small Eastern Shore towns appeared with Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. at the State House yesterday to announce that they are switching parties.

Easton Mayor Robert Willey and Denton Mayor Victoria Goldsborough said they felt more comfortable with Republican Party philosophies.

"I am coming back home," said Goldsborough, 56. "Thirty-eight years ago, I was a registered Republican, but I changed 26 years ago because I couldn't vote in the Democratic primary. This party is moving and shaking, and I just want to be in it."
