Longtime Mansfield resident Dave Johnson has announced his candidacy for Mansfield City Council, Ward 1, Position 1.
Johnson and his wife, Ellen, have been longtime residents of Mansfield. He is a former business owner, having operated Dave’s Small Engines for many years. Johnson also brings previous experience to the position, having served on the Mansfield City Council for 17 years.
“I am running for the council because I feel like our town has gone downhill, and I want to see it built back up,” Johnson said.
If elected, Johnson said he plans to focus on restoring and improving the city while ensuring that existing ordinances already on the books are applied fairly and equally. He also emphasized the importance of citizen involvement in local government and believes residents should have a voice in city government.
Johnson said his priorities include strengthening the community and making sure residents have an opportunity to be heard on issues affecting the city.
Johnson’s candidacy adds another name to the field of candidates seeking municipal office in Mansfield ahead of the November election.
