Mark Johnson - Carroll County District 5 Commissioner Candidate

GEORGIA RADIO - Local elections are going on all across the Peach
State, but one man, who's not on social media, or backed by big
money is running in Carroll County. He recently spoke to a group
of young farmers, and it was there our own Matt Jolley heard him
speak. "I was really curious how someone could run a campaign in
2024 and not be personally active on social media. So I reached
out and asked him." Said Jolley. Mark Johnson quickly answered
back (via telephone), and said his campaign strategy is meeting
people in person. 


In the digital age, Mark Johnson is trying to run his campaign
the old fashioned way-- door to door, handshake to handshake. As
for his online stuff, his daughter is handling that. He's a
resident of the Lowell community, is stepping into the spotlight
to share his vision for the county's future. Johnson, deeply
rooted in West Georgia, discussed his candidacy on Georgia Radio
with host Matt Jolley, highlighting his commitment to preserving
the county's charm and safeguarding it against over-development.


A descendant of a long-standing family in the Roopville, Lowell,
and Whitesburg area, Johnson's ties to Carroll County trace back
to 1830. His family's legacy includes the establishment of three
churches, several local businesses, and service with the historic
Carroll Rangers, underscoring his deep connection to the
community's heritage and values.


Despite spending his formative years on his grandparents' farm in
Lowell, Johnson's appreciation for Carrollton's pristine
environment and close-knit community drew him back after six
years away. His decision to purchase and preserve his family's
farm reflects his dedication to conserving the county's rural
character for future generations.


Married to his wife, Natalie, for 37 years, Johnson is a proud
father of three children and grandfather to eight grandchildren.
His commitment to Carroll County extends beyond his own family,
driven by a desire to ensure that future generations can relish
the same quality of life and sense of belonging that he
experienced growing up.


Johnson articulates his vision for responsible development that
respects Carroll County's natural beauty and cherished
traditions. "The wheel of progress won’t stop," Johnson
emphasizes, "but it should be steered in a direction that retains
what makes it beautiful."


As voters prepare to cast their ballots this May, Johnson
presents himself as a steadfast advocate for the community's
values and aspirations. With a pledge to protect Carroll County's
unique identity and heritage, he positions himself as a candidate
ready to lead with integrity and foresight.
