HOBART — Mayor Brian Snedecor has joined the Republican Party.
Surrounded by family, elected officials and supporters, Snedecor became emotional as he made the announcement Wednesday at Festival Park.
“I must be true to my God, my family, myself and those that have supported and believed in me,” Snedecor said. “So today I am formally announcing that I am leaving the Democratic Party and that I am joining the Republican party.”
He said he’s become increasingly concerned during the last several months as the national Democratic platform has moved “more and more to the left.”
“The efforts of the progressive left have driven many people, moderates and conservatives, away from the Democratic Party,” Snedecor said.
Snedecor said he took plenty of time to reflect on the situation before chose how he would proceed.
“My decision and announcement has not been quick, rash or without contemplation,” he said. Snedecor said his leadership won’t be altered after switching political parties. He promised to remain vigilant to the city’s needs and to continue working to make Hobart a safe, strong and thriving community.
“Although my party has changed, my concern, care and love for the citizens of Hobart has not,” Snedecor said. “I want Hobart to be a place for business to come and the American Dream to be achieved.”
Snedecor, who is serving his fourth consecutive term in office, said work to enhance the community will be collaborative.

Pence county
Pence Country, nice add.
It’s anecdotal but hopefully this is an indicator of what’s happening in many places. It would be a little more significant if he voted for Clinton in 2016, but I have hunch he voted for Trump.
There we go. Don’t look back, just walk away. Keeep on walking! (Go!)
It’s simple - it’s family, it’s security, it’s the economy.
The Democrats have been trashing all three for the agendas they have been trained by the Left to pursue.
The Left has had the Dims deconstructing society while the Dims, in either their deceit or their ignorance, pretended to be helping society.

The dems just might have gone too far left.
Hey pal. If you've been a demoRAT anytime in the last fifty years, you already abandoned your faith.
Just the platform or the ideology behind it?
Wow, it's right next to Gary. Good news indeed.
Open wide the door. The floodgates are next. The tide may be memorable.
Guess he read the stitches on the fast ball coming towards the Democrats.
