Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson Joins GOP: ‘Fed Up with Unsuccessful Liberal Policies’
Voters shifted allegiance due to dissatisfaction with long-term liberal policies impacting urban populations.
Mayor Eric Johnson discusses his party switch from Democrat to Republican in Dallas.
He cites a history of liberal policies that have failed urban communities and the increasing number of voters, including African Americans, seeking change.
“I switched parties for the same reason. I think a lot of people crossed over and voted for Donald Trump for president in this past election. That is, you know, we’ve had 60-plus years of frankly failed liberal experimentation in our cities where 80% of our population lives, and where a high percentage of our African American and Hispanic populations in this country live. We’re just sick and tired of being sick and tired.” – Mayor Eric Johnson
Johnson emphasizes the importance of addressing challenges posed by migration on city resources. The conversation sheds light on the changing political landscape and priorities in urban America. Overall, Eric Johnson’s statements reflect a push for a new direction in addressing urban issues.
