Jon Green should be re-elected in the newly created Johnson County Supervisor District 2.
He was first elected to the Board of Supervisors in 2021. As board chair, Green led the process of gaining consensus on a jail proposal. When you see the jail referendum on the November ballot, Jon’s fingerprints will be all over it. We should re-elect him to finish this important work.
New districts are creating tumult in supervisor elections and can eventually be expected to impact governance. At least one incumbent won’t be returning. Others may lose their primary. The Republican hope was they could elect at least one supervisor under the district system. Change is coming, like it or not.
Jon has the sense to know changing a governance process already in transition would be tampering with an otherwise stable system. He opposes changing the form of government to using a county administrator. It is the right call.
For these reasons and more, I urge you to vote for Democrat Jon Green in the June 2 primary election for District 2 supervisor.
