Campaign websiteJohnson's campaign website stated the following:WHERE I STAND ON THE ISSUESEducationIt's no secret Anchorage's schools are struggling. Our students and our teachers have been challenged and endured incredibly difficult circumstances. They need our support and our advocacy. I’ve fought to protect ASD from efforts to harm our schools through changes in the funding formula and to help secure investment in our classrooms. HomelessnessAs a former law enforcement officer, I've seen firsthand the costs and the challenges that come from people living on the streets. I’ve supported efforts to increase shelter space and outreach services, while also taking steps to protect our public spaces and demand accountability. I am committed to working with the rest of the Assembly and the Mayor's Administration to find solutions that work, while always keeping cost-effectiveness in mind. InfrastructureThe poor condition of many of our roads impacts both access to firefighting equipment and safe avenues of escape for residents. I will continue to work with the Limited Road Service Area Boards and others to prioritize projects and fight to get them funded. And I am proud to have sponsored the first two years of the Chugach Access Service Area Bond.BusinessSouth Anchorage, Turnagain, and Girdwood all host some amazing businesses. We need to make sure they have the support and the regulatory environment they need to succeed and grow. Identifying new opportunities, encouraging responsible development, and fostering a business-friendly attitude are my priorities.Public SafetyOur law enforcement officers have a tough job, and they deserve our support. I know firsthand the importance of having the right training, equipment, and policies for a department. I’ve sponsored funding to provide better wages for our officers and supported investments in better tools and technology. I will continue to work with the police department to make sure they have the resources they need and that our communities get the level of service we need.Fire SafetyWe face unique threats in South Anchorage, Turnagain, and Girdwood. Wildland fire hazards and difficult access make a tough job even tougher for our firefighters. Having the right tools and adequate personnel positioned in South Anchorage and Girdwood to respond quickly is essential to keeping our communities safe. I’m proud to have sponsored funding for wildfire hazard and mitigation education. For 2026, I’m leading an effort to operationalize the AFD Wildland Division, to ensure this critical function does not go away.RecreationThe poor condition of many of our roads impacts both access to firefighting equipment and safe avenues of escape for residents.
