City Councillor
Jack Johnson
I am a lawyer, a public servant, and a proud sixth-generation Coloradoan. My journey began under Colorado’s wide-open blue skies, exploring and appreciating its public lands.
Guided by a lifelong calling to public service, I became a lawyer and began my career at a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for the rights of people with disabilities across Colorado.
I am running to bring years of hands-on policy experience to city hall—and will work to strengthen Westminster by ensuring we have an affordable and accessible city, safe and welcoming communities, and a justice system that works for everyone. I am committed to improving the lives of the people who call this great city home.
