John Lee, a Nevada Mayor, announced Tuesday that he is leaving the Democratic Party to switch allegiance with the Republican Party.
According to Fox News, the North Las Vegas Mayor noted that he could no longer stand the Democrats' elitist and socialist agenda.
"It's not the party that I grew up with 25 years ago in this environment, and it's not the party I can stand with anymore," Lee said in the report.
He noted that you are not really well known in the Democratic Party "when you're a pro-life Democrat, a pro-gun Democrat, and you're a very conservative person."
John Lee said he hanged on the party as long as he did, hoping the party would change. However, he noted that "it didn't, it got worse."
