Ex-Rhode Island politician Lincoln Chafee changes political parties — again
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee has a new home and has changed his political affiliation for the fourth time.It continues a political odyssey for Chafee who served one term in the U.S. Senate as a moderate Republican, and was elected governor as an independent in 2010.
While still in that office, Chafee became a Democrat, and ran briefly for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. He says registering in Teton County, Wyoming, as a Libertarian reflects his political philosophy of being"fiscally conservative and socially liberal." Back in Rhode Island for a family event, Chafee said Tuesday he still owns property in his native state but moved to Wyoming as a"new adventure."
