The Madison County Republican Party held a reception last week in Canton honoring Jim Herring for his book “The Switcher” that gives a unique perspective on a transitional time in Mississippi politics by the only former member of the Mississippi Democratic Party State Executive Committee to later serve as Chairman of the Mississippi Republican Party.
Herring of Canton takes the reader through his political activity as a Democrat from the mid-1950s up into his switch to the GOP during the first term of President Ronald Reagan and provides a behind-the-scenes look at his work as state Republican Chairman.
