Mark Johnstone, a Jackson businessman, announced he is a candidate for the office of campaign mayor of Jackson, today.

“I have spent the last few months listening to different voices across Jackson, and I have
heard their call for a renewed vision and energy in the mayor’s office,” said Johnstone, in a press release, “I believe I have the vision and energy they are calling for, and I am ready for the challenge.

“I look forward to using my experience as a businessman, and in public service, to build on the already great strengths of our community as we move Jackson forward.
