North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee announces he is switching to Republican Party
North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee said Tuesday he was switching his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican because of his opposition to socialism.
"In the Democratic Party of Nevada, they had an election recently for leadership, and four of the five people were card-carrying members of the socialistic party," Lee said on Fox News' Fox & Friends.
He added, "It's not the party that I grew up with 25 years ago in this environment, and it's not the party that I can stand with anymore."
Lee's comments referred to a recent election held to fill leadership roles in the Nevada State Democratic Party, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Some of the nominees were affiliated with local chapters of the Democratic Socialists of America, the paper said.
