Republicans Make County Office Gains As Jolley And Bollinger Switch Parties

April 26, 2009
Republican control of local Marshall County offices got a little stronger this weekend as two formerly Democrat officials switched parties. 

Marshall County Circuit Judge Tim Jolley and Marshall County Commissioner Tim Bollinger announced today that they have joined the Republican Party.

Judge Jolley said he had been considering joining the Republican Party for some time. "Most people don't fit 100% in either party but this is a personal issue for me and it has nothing to do with my judicial philosophy."

Bollinger said, "I appreciate the warm welcome that the local Republican Party has offered me. I have been voting for conservatives for public office my entire life. Over the past several years it has become apparent to me that my values are just in line with the Republican Party."
