What an absolute betrayal. I’m tired of these people that slink in and switch parties, completely ignoring the will of the people that put him here.
Someone wants to run for higher office in Texas.
What a shithead. He’s been a garbage mayor. I can’t believe he ran unopposed.
Oh, nice of him to out himself as a grifter then.
“Next spring, I will be voting in the Republican primary. When my career in elected office ends in 2027 on the inauguration of my successor as mayor, I will leave office as a Republican.”
I’m thinking some Dallas residence may read that statement as “leaving only in 2027? Not fast enough” and start recall efforts.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, a longtime Democrat, said he’s switched parties to become a Republican.
“Today I am changing my party affiliation,” Johnson wrote in an op-ed published Friday in The Wall Street Journal.
Johnson served in the Texas Legislature for nine years as a Democrat before he was elected mayor in 2019.
Texas Republicans were quick to embrace Johnson as one of their own.
Greg Abbott said in a tweet, sharing the announcement.
“He’s pro law enforcement & won’t tolerate leftist agendas.”
