Dallas mayor Eric Johnson to address crowd at RNC on Tuesday night
MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Dallas mayor Eric Johnson will speak at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Tuesday night, according to sources familiar with the event.
Johnson, who announced he switched parties from a Democrat to a Republican in September of last year, is the only Republican mayor of the country’s 10 largest cities.
The party widely embraced him after making the switch and is now the head of the newly-formed Republican Mayors Association.
Johnson will speak as part of the second night of the RNC, which comes with the theme Make America Safe Again.
Overall violent crime in the City of Dallas dropped for the third straight year in 2023, according to the Dallas Police Department, but murders in the city rose.
Johnson has served as the mayor of Dallas since 2019.
Prior to being elected as mayor, Johnson represented Dallas in the Texas Legislature for nine years as a Democrat.

DALLAS – Dallas police need a name for a dangerous robber who pulled a gun on a 7-Eleven clerk and walked out with the cash register drawer.
He was caught on camera. But it’s been six months, and he’s still at large.
7-Eleven Robberies
What we know:
The robbery in question happened on Jan. 13 around 10:30 p.m. at the store at 302 North Marsalis Avenue.
A Black male who is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 170 to 180 pounds walked in and waited until no other customers were inside.
“After it’s empty, he displays a handgun and points it at the cashier,” said Det. Eduardo Lopez Villa. “I don’t know what he said. He just demanded the cash from the cash register.”
Det. Villa said the suspect took the whole cash register drawer before fleeing eastbound on foot on 8th Street.

“Yes, most definitely based on the video and the screenshot. If you know him, you’ll recognize him,” he said.
