In September 2024, Tyjon Johnson announced his candidacy for the 2025 La Plata Town Council election, aiming to represent Ward IV. Running on the platform “Innovative Solutions for Today’s Needs and a Brighter Tomorrow,” Johnson emphasizes modernizing local government operations and enhancing infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of the community.
Johnson has officially secured the necessary nominations and submitted his Certificate of Nomination, confirming his place on the ballot. In the upcoming weeks, he plans to engage with residents through town hall meetings, surveys, and community events to gather input and discuss his vision for Ward IV. Johnson believes that community involvement is crucial in shaping policies that reflect the aspirations of La Plata’s citizens.
The election timeline is as follows:
- March 17, 2025: Primary Election (if necessary), from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
- May 6, 2025: General Election, from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
