Johnson, a lifelong resident of the town, has an ambitious agenda for town government and boundless energy to talk about his priorities.
But at his core, Johnson wants to do what he can to heal the wounds that have divided the town over the last year.
"Our hearts are hurting," Johnson said. "No matter what side of the equation you're on, we all know we need changes to be made. Unfortunately, due process takes time, and change is scary.
"I hope to provide a voice for the town as I've been here a long time and have many connections where I feel I have my hand on the heartbeat of the town, and it's time to become transparent as we move forward. I'm here to help the town, bring in infrastructure to town government, bring us up to modern times and implement warrant Articles 36 and 37 as voted in by the citizens."
