The Senator's personal account of his break from the Republican Party. James Merrill Jeffords (May 11, 1934 – August 18, 2014) was a U.S. Senator from Vermont. In 1988 he was the successful Republican nominee for the United States Senate seat held by the retiring Robert Stafford. He served as a Republican until 2001, when he left the party to become an Independent and began caucusing with the Democrats. His switch changed control of the Senate from Republican to Democratic, the first time a switch had ever changed party control. Jeffords retired from the Senate in 2007. He graduated from Yale University, served for three years in the United States Navy, and then attended Harvard Law School, from which he received his degree in 1962. Jeffords served one term in the Vermont Senate (1967-1969), and two as Attorney General of Vermont (1969-1973). Prior to the Senate, he served as the U.S. Representative for Vermont's at-large congressional district from 1975 to 1989. More
