Rep. Michael Decker
Michael Paul Decker is a former member of the North Carolina General Assembly representing the state's ninety-fourth House district, including constituents in Forsyth county. A former teacher from Walkertown, North Carolina, Decker served in 10 terms in the state House, ending in the 2003-2004 session.
During the 2003-2004 session, Decker switched from the Republican Party to the Democrat party. This led to a 60-60 split in the house, producing a power-sharing arrangement between the two parties. Prior to his switch, Republicans had had a 61-59 majority, and control of the state house. Shortly before the 2004 Elections, Decker switched back to the Republican Party. He was defeated in the 2004 Republican Primary.
