Disaffected Democrat, former police chief joins GOP for congressional run

Just the News-

A former police chief in New York and long time Democratic voter is running for Congress as a Republican after growing weary anti-police position his former party has taken.

La’Ron Singletary, who is running to represent New York’s 25th Congressional District, told the Daily Wire that he is no longer able to support the Democratic Party due to the “demonization, the demoralization, and the defunding the police rhetoric,” which he says have been coupled with other problematic ideologies.

“The Democratic Party was no longer the party that I knew it to be, and no longer the party of my parents. We live in a country that allows us to change political parties if we no longer agree with the party’s beliefs,” he also said.

The former police chief initially caught the public’s attention when he stood up to former Rochester Democrat Mayor Lovely Warren, who accused the chief of mishandling the racially charged death of Daniel Prude, a black male. more

  1. I applaud him for seeing the light, at least as reported. However, if the only reason he is running as a Republican is the policing policies and rhetoric and he intends to support the other disastrous left policies, why?

  2. These people worry me. I don’t trust that while they may align themselves with the Rs on one or two issues, they are still D in the head. Or they know an R after their name on the ballot is safer in a given election.

  3. Some Demwits eventually get scared out of supporting the life-threatening warped leftist polices. They finally realize the evil stupid is personal and real. Sounds like this happened to this candidate.
    May not be enough to keep him going forward as a true conservative, but now he’s responsible for the truth he knows.
    Besides as a LEO he can no longer deny the reality of how leftist policies corrupt and destroy lives in his city. Nothing like personal experience – it’s an eye opener.

  4. It lifts my Heart to see that everyone here can see a Conservative of Convenience from 500 yard away.

    It’s almost like you Psychos are used to looking through Mil Spec Scopes.

    Cheers!
