He announced that he would not seek re-election to the state House in 2014, and would instead run for Jessamine County Judge-Executive, as incumbent William Neal Cassity did not running for re-election.[1] However, Damron would lose this election to Republican David West. Shortly afterwards, he switched parties and became a Republican, saying the national Democratic Party did not represent his values.[2]
