Ann Arbor News: Key primary for Ypsilanti
Races in 3 council wards could affect future city decisions

NEW! Ypsilanti City Council needs problem-solvers

"Ypsilanti faces some challenges - as it has before. We'll do fine if we elect members of Council with long-term commitment to the City and experience working with groups throughout the City. I have known Rod Johnson since 1988 and watched him work with neighborhood, school, and church organizations as well as on the planning commission. He is just ideal for the job."

NEW! Ann Arbor News endorses Rod Johnson in the August 5 Democratic Primary!

"We believe Johnson is a better choice to represent Ward 3. He is chair of the city planning commission and has served on that group since 2000. His leadership roles on the Community Policing Action Council, the Recreation Commission and the Historic Eastside Neighborhood Association have built a strong foundation for work as a council member. In 2006, we endorsed his bid for the council and cited his open-minded approach to issues and his willingness to look for innovative solutions to the many problems facing Ypsilanti. Our view hasn't changed, and we're backing Johnson in this race."
