Scott Johnson announced Tuesday that he was withdrawing from the Junction City Commission race.

He informed JC Post that he did not have time to campaign or be on the commission.

Elaborating on Wednesday, Johnson stated that he has a lot going on business-wise. “Looking at some stuff in other states, stuff in Junction City, three grandkids. I want to spend more time with my kids and grandkids. ” Johnson also noted, “I don’t know that I can really help. I’ve been on a commission where one or two votes against three or four. I don’t see that changing. And I just thought my heart’s really not in it and I don’t really have the time, I ought to let other people get on the commission.”

Johnson was asked if he would endorse any other candidates in the city commission race.  He endorsed George Marcus and David Alexander.

In addition to Marcus and Alexander, other candidates  in the race include James Sands, Phyllis Fitzgerald, Heinrich Biggs, Tyler Dupy, and Pat Landes. The election is April 7.
