[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 5711819, member: 48469"] He was elected to be mayor of Dallas in June of 2019. It sounds like as a Democrat he's taken a lot of :censored: from the left for wanting to hold Dallas together since then. Especially from 2020 on. With the continued leftward shift of Democrats, he's basically been doing what are now considered Republican things anyway. And he probably sees his switch as politiclly adventageous. Local Polls likely show that Dallas voters are happy with where he's been taking things. The top of his WSJ opinion piece: "I have been mayor of Dallas for more than four years. During that time, my priority has been to make the city safer, stronger and more vibrant. That meant saying no to those who wanted to defund the police. It meant fighting for lower taxes and a friendlier business climate. And it meant investing in family friendly infrastructure such as better parks and trails. That approach is working. Alone among America’s 10 most populous cities, Dallas has brought violent crime down in every major category, including murder, year-over-year for the past two years." [/QUOTE]
