I have always respected Johnny Johnson and continue to do so. I admire Mr. Johnson for accepting the appointment to such a demanding position.
It is my wish that the other candidates join with me in support of Judge Johnson as he takes on the daunting task facing him the next two years.
County Judge Executive is the most important job in Clay County, a county which is now considered by many as being one of the poorest & most fragile counties in the Commonwealth."
