After declaring last week he’d vote in the March primary as a Republican, there are more calls for Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson to resign.
For many, Johnson's move across the aisle wasn't a huge surprise. Still, Democratic party chair Kardal Coleman said the switch is an insult to Dallas voters and that his decision to switch parties is an"embarrassment."
"Mayor Eric Johnson's switch to the Republican Party is nothing short of an insult to Dallas voters. The Texas Republican Party proved it is the party of corruption and crime by voting not to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton. Johnson's decision to join that party is an embarrassment to him and to our community. Mayor Johnson has run out on his job, he's run out on the voters that elected him, and now his time has run out. Eric Johnson must resign now," Coleman said.
Dallas mayors are limited to two terms, and Johnson is in his second, so the question now is whether the party switch is to position himself for future political goals.
