The Dallas County Democrats are accusing Mayor Eric Johnson of turning his back on voters by switching political parties. They’re calling for him to step down.
is set to meet Wednesday for the first time since Mayor Eric Johnson switched political parties. The longtime Democrat announced he’s now a Republican.He said it would not change his approach to his job and that he still plans to crack down on violent crime, work to lower property rates, and attract business to Dallas.
The mayor’s office is officially non-partisan, but Johnson previously represented Dallas in the Texas House as a Democrat. So, the Dallas County Democrats have accused him of turning his back on voters. They’re calling for him to step down. "He knowingly portrayed himself as a lifelong Democratic voter and representative throughout his re-election campaign for mayor," the party chair said in part in a statement. "Now, less than four months after being re-elected to his final term in office… this switch is the launch of a selfish and cynical strategy to get his next job at the expense of his current job."Johnson's party switch makes him the only Republican mayor of the nation's 10 largest cities.
Upon hearing the news last week, some Democrats remembered the moment when Johnson invited two Republicans – Texas Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn – to his inauguration.They’ve started a petition to get him to step down and they’re encouraging people to share their opinions at Wednesday’s city council meeting.
