Please Consider Brent Johnson For Sheriff

The SJC Democratic Party's post card is a powerful tool, and unquestionably holds more sway than the newspapers, etc. When recently asked by my 26 year old daughter which initiatives to vote for in CA, I told her to go to the S.F.Democratic Party's website. Since Bob Myhr and Brent Johnson were grossly mistreated by our local Democratic Party, I would like to point out some of Brent Johnson’s attributes, which I’ve borrowed. Personally, I know him to be a kind, humble, intelligent and motivated man.
Brent Johnson has both academic training and real world experience working in a large-city police force for 21 years, 13 years in supervisory positions, handling budget and supervisory responsibilities for a 17-member sector of officers, experience in dealing with drug abuse, sexual abuse and domestic violence issues. Brent also has experience working in smaller departments, from the University of Washington’s Police Department and San Juan County’s Sheriff’s Office so he can combine the best of both worlds. Brent has been our County’s lead detective for 8 years and he has worked cases on all islands. He is a strong advocate for women’s rights, domestic violence issues, and drug abuse prevention. Brent has proven community commitment with the various volunteer organizations he is actively involved with from Chair of the Veteran’s Advisory Board, a volunteer fire fighter and a Board member of Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Services.
Best regards,

My wife Lynne-Ann, daughter Lenora and I have lived in the San Juan’s since Sheriff Cumming hired me as Lead Detective eight years ago. I feel I am the best candidate for the job not only because of my experience but also because of my commitment to our community. You might recognize me from previous years handouts for the Safety Fairs on San Juan Island, yeah, I'm the guy helping the kids with the fire hose. I am co-coordinator with Fire Wise an organization that helps residents and neighborhoods assess their fire risks and then helps those same neighborhoods clear out debris and ladder fuel to make homes and the environment safer. I am the guy you may have passed on Beaverton Valley Road picking up trash along a two mile stretch with my family. You will see from my bio that I am a board member with Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Services and Chair of the SJC Veteran's Advisory Board and that I am involved in my home owners association. My commitment to community lead me to run for the office of Sheriff and I ask for your support.
