Johnson chosen as Linn County supervisor hopeful to bring meaningful contribution
Johnson, the sole woman among the Linn County board hopefuls, says she wants to be a meaningful caretaker and ensure continued female representation. She notes a 40-year history of women serving on the board, as discussions on raising the local minimum wage and salaries over 100,000 dollars unfold. The appointment process drew debate over timing and public comment before a final vote, with government lawyers drafting the formal resolution after which she could be sworn in. Democrats Stacey Walker and Dick Hogan contest the upcoming four-year term, with the June 7 primary determining the nominee.
