Campaign statement from LFP mayoral candidate Jeff Johnson

By Evan Smith

Lake Forest Park City Councilman Jeff Johnson is running unopposed in the Nov. 3 general election to replace retiring Mayor Mary Jane Goss.

He recently sent this introductory statement:

Jeff Johnson

Lake Forest Park is a great city, and we can make it even better.

The path to improvement includes: establishing our credibility with surrounding cities and working with them to solve traffic issues, supporting our police force, making Town Center a more vibrant hub, and continuing to build trust in our local government.

To achieve this, we need someone who can: build relationships, encourage partnerships, trust and empower our city’s staff and residents, articulate a clear and motivating vision, and act on our best ideas.

I expanded my business and helped unite our Council by listening to people, finding common ground, and honoring my commitments. As Mayor, I will do the same.

I’ll do everything I can to make our residents proud to live in this amazing place. We have an exciting future ahead of us, and I can’t wait to get started.
