Johnson spent 22 years with the Jamestown Police Department, retiring in 2010, and is currently the Senior Investigator with the Chautauqua County District Attorney’s Office.
The other candidate is Nina Karbacka – who is seeking her first term on the Board. Karbacka is aneducator, with a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in music education from SUNY Fredonia and 40 years of teaching experience, at all grade levels, in the Jamestown Public Schools. She is running for the seat currently held by board member Laurel Lucas, who has decided not to seek a fifth term on the board.
No other candidates will appear on the ballot but, as always, write-in names will also be accepted.
