JACKSON, Miss. – Former Republican two term state Sen. Tim Johnson announced his candidacy for lieutenant governor Wednesday at the State Capitol. He also officially switch over to the Democratic Party to run against incumbent Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves.
Johnson says he has been contemplating the party switch for over a year now. He says the final straw for him was Republicans failing to expand Medicaid under the affordable care act.
Johnson is from Madison and has served as a Madison County Supervisor. In 2011 he ran for Central Public Service Commissioner, but lost the election to Dick Hall. - See more at: http://www.newsms.fm/former-state-sen-tim-johnson-expected-switch-parties-run-lt-governor/#sthash.m1Ohy9Po.dpuf
Mississippi ping: I guess that Elvis gig didn’t work out for him
Big Government politician decides to become a Bigger Government politician.
Yes Virginia, there really are such things as RINOs.
He’s more honest about his true party affiliation than 90% of the Republicans.

GOOD!!
Let Him Take The Rest Of The RINOS With Him To The RAT Party!
We Don't Need 'em!
Interesting! I was just polled about this guy and also Cochran’s nephew.
It’s one thing to be a Rhino; it’s another to admit it. I’ll give him no credit, as he does not deserve any.
Good Riddance.
Now if we could get rid of a few thousand more federal and state level D.I.A.B.L.O.s.
He’s welcome to try to become the ONLY WHITE DEMOCRAT in Mississippi and one of only a HANDFUL of White Democrats in the entire South.
So give it hell, Tim. LOL.
He’s more honest about his true party affiliation than 90% of the Republicans.
That’s the truth.
was this guy involved in getting Cochran back into the Senate?
He’s going after the “Cochran” voters.
A quick Google of this guy shows that he is a fruit basket, and a not particularly honest one.
Tim Johnson will lose his race for Lt. Gov.
So he just jumped from the pro-War wing to the pro-Whore wing of the bicephalic government party?
Daddy, what’s a white Democrat?
That would be a Johnson-head, son.
Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.
The mask is off! lol
>> he is a fruit basket <<
Maybe so, but let’s give him his due:
He does a DAMN FUNNY Elvis impersonation. Seriously!
