Dale Girard, who serves as both a state representative and mayor of Claremont, went to Claremont City Hall Monday morning to change his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, he announced on Facebook.

“This decision came after a great deal of thought and consideration,” he wrote. “I want to be clear — this is not a reflection of any issue I have with Democratic Party leadership. However, during my time serving as a Representative in Concord, I came to realize that my personal ideologies did not align as closely with the party as I once believed.”
