In recent years Pearson has encouraged African Americans to consider voting for Republican candidates. He was among a group of ministers who prayed with Texas Gov. George W. Bush before the 2000 U.S. presidential campaign. Brooker says Pearson's decision to run on the Republican ticket, though principled, was a "fatal error" from a political standpoint.

Although he does not plan to run for political office again, Pearson says he will stay politically active. Pearson says he has formed a political action committee and maintains friendships with influential politicians.

"I do plan to keep my seat at the table and to stay vocal in the debate," he said.
