Patrick once described himself as "young and country" when he went to the legislature but "learned a great deal quickly". He determined Rockefeller to have been "far more knowledgeable than people gave him credit" and a man motivated by what was best for his adopted state.<ref name=statement/> Patrick was one of only three House Republicans in the first Rockefeller term -- the others were [[George E. Nowotny, Jr.]], of [[Fort Smith]], the seat of Sebastian County in western Arkansas, and [[Jim Sheets]] of Siloam Springs in Benton County. During Patrick's second term, there was also a Republican in the Arkansas State Senate, [[Jim Caldwell]] of Rogers, also in Benton County]] in northwestern Arkansas. Hence the legislature was at least 97 percent Democratic during much of Rockefeller's tenure.
