Seven former democrats are now with the ranks of the republican party after making their formal switch Wednesday.

Mississippi Republican Party Chairman Joe Nosef said since democrats took control of the White House, more than 50 state and local democrats have moved to the GOP.

Leake County Sheriff Greg Waggoner is one of those making the party change. Waggoner said he feels the Democratic party has fallen out of line with the country's moral standards.

"This is enough. We've gone too far. We've gone down the road of moral decay too far. It's time to stop it. It's time to turn around and let's go back together," said Waggoner.

Also switching parties Wednesday was Jones County Justice Court Judge David Lyons, Jones County Constable Mitch Sumrall, Leake County Coroner Randolph Scott, Leake County Supervisor Tony Smith, Leake County Justice Court Judge Ken Adcock and Newton County Sheriff Jackie Knight.
