Answer

Shelby defected to the Republican Party in 1994, a significant turning point in his political career. This switch marked a notable shift in his ideological alignment, as Shelby had previously been affiliated with the Democratic Party for several decades. His transition from Democrat to Republican aligned him more closely with the conservative values of his constituents in Alabama and ultimately shaped the remainder of his political trajectory.
