Mayor Dean Johnson is the only candidate in this race ever elected by voters to serve on the Puyallup City Council. Mayor Johnson will never vote to defund our Police and is the only candidate in this race endorsed by both Puyallup Police unions including the Police Management Association. Hence a vote for Dean is a vote for our Puyallup Police!

Dean believes in protecting Puyallup farmlands and works hard to limit the negative effects of massive warehouse developments! He supported the new Van Lierop Park and our fully remodeled Puyallup Rec-Center with multi-use sports-fields and artificial turf. He supported the expansion of the Riverwalk and Puyallup Loop trails as well as new green space and playground equipment for our children.

Seniors and families are struggling financially and he believes all major tax increases, including a new Public Safety Building, should be decided by the voters, not City Council. Dean prioritizes local family and small businesses, not outside rich corporations!

Our Mayor is committed to running a positive campaign and realizes that misleading statements may be said by opposition, however he trusts your ability to ignore politically driven noise. A vote for Dean protects Puyallup from radical politics and agendas!
