(Carmine Sabia) It is starting to appear that some in the Democrat Party are realizing the anchor they have around their necks in the form of the unpopular Joe Biden and Kamala Harris team and have other ideas.

Democratic Texas state Rep. Ryan Guillen, who has been in politics for a long time, has announced that he is running for re-election as a Republican.
“After much consideration and prayer with my family, I feel that my fiscally conservative, pro-business, and pro-life values are no longer in-step with the Democrat Party of today, and I am proudly running as a Republican to represent House District 31,” he said on Twitter with a screenshot of a press release.

“Throughout my entire career, creating a prosperous business climate, defending the second amendment, and protecting the lives of the unborn are the cornerstones of how I have represented my district,” he said in the press release. “After much consideration and prayer with my family, I feel that my fiscally conservative, pro-business, and pro-life values are no longer in-step with the Democrat Party of today, and I am proudly running as a Republican to represent House District 31.”
“The voters of my district love this country, they love Texas, they love their families, and they are deeply proud of the huge impact they have on the prosperity and strength of America and the prosperity of their own communities. And, the National Democrat Party is increasingly putting themselves in direct opposition to our values,” he said.
The decision comes as polling for Biden and Harris, as well as House Speaker and California Rep. Nancy Pelosi, has been abysmal.
The representative made the announcement on Monday, as he was flanked by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and House Speaker Dade Phelan, The Texas Tribune reported.
“Friends, something is happening in South Texas, and many of us are waking up to the fact that the values of those in Washington, D.C., are not our values, not the values of most Texans,” the representative said. “The ideology of defunding the police, of destroying the oil and gas industry and the chaos at our border is disastrous for those of us who live here in South Texas.”
The decision was celebrated at the news conference by the governor.
“Everybody has known that Ryan Guillen is really a Republican who is attached to the wrong label,” he said. “Ryan, we’re glad you finally came out of the closet.”
“Republicans cynically gutted Rep. Guillen’s district in the redistricting process, showing complete disrespect for both him and his constituents,” House Democratic Caucus chair and state Rep. Chris Turner, said. “Usually, people in Ryan’s position would choose to fight. Instead, he has chosen to join them.”
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Ronna McDaniel celebrated the representative’s switch to the GOP.
“I am proud to welcome state Representative Ryan Guillen to the GOP. The Republican Party is the party of faith, freedom, and opportunity, and we will continue to stand for these ideals in Texas and across the country. With trailblazers like Representative Guillen, we will continue to make gains in South Texas and grow the party in our way to victories up and down the ballot in 2022,” she said.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
