In a state where there are roughly 95 men for every 100 women, there is only one female on the Johnson City Commissionâs five-member board.
Commissioner Jenny Brock highlighted that detail at the bodyâs regular meeting on March 4, during which the city issued a proclamation recognizing March as Womenâs History Month.
âAs particularly our young daughters and grandchildren move into the world theyâre going to experience, we need to see more leadership,â Brock said. âIn my last two years of serving on the commission I am going to promote that and try to encourage and mentor women in this community to run for office.â
