Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson announced he's switching from his long-held spot in the Democratic Party to the GOP.
The elected official announced he's leaving the Democratic Party to become a Republican, saying in an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal Friday,"American cities need Republicans — and Republicans need American cities."
His approach thus far has included a focus on economic development and public safety, which he says many Democratic leaders overlook in the cities they lead as"laboratories for liberalism rather than as havens for opportunity and free enterprise." Dallas County voted for President Joe Biden 65%-33% over former President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, and only about 20% of the county's 1.4 million registered voters are Republican.
