This is some quotes from this clowns op-ed in the WSJ and not the Dallas Morning News:
"After these wins for the people of Dallas — and after securing 98.7% of the vote in my re-election campaign this year — I have no intention of changing my approach to my job," Johnson wrote. "But today I am changing my party affiliation. 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."
Johnson said he attributed his decision to cities "desperately" needing mayors to champion "law and order and practice fiscal conservatism."
"In other words, American cities need Republicans — and Republicans need American cities," Johnson wrote. "When my political hero Theodore Roosevelt was born, only 20% of Americans lived in urban areas. By the time he was elected president, that share had doubled to 40%. Today, it stands at 80%. As America’s cities go, so goes America."
"But it is clear that the nation and its cities have reached a time for choosing," Johnson wrote. "And the overwhelming majority of Americans who call our cities home deserve to have real choices — not “progressive” echo chambers — at city hall."
