J. D. Johnston Seeks Rinehart Commission Seat
Former Bethany mayor and Oklahoma City businessman J.D. Johnston today announced his candidacy for the District 2 seat on the Oklahoma County Commission, setting up a Republican primary for the seat if incumbent Brent Rinehart seeks reelection as expected.
Johnston pledged to bring integrity, credibility and diverse experience to the job.
He said, "a good part of what people see and hear in the media about their county commissioner often centers around fussing and fighting, legal troubles, political troubles, and other issues that have nothing to do with the business of the County,” Johnston continued.
“I believe that the people of District 2 deserve a county commissioner who is focused on county business. It is the job of elected officials at all levels to serve the people and to set an example for positive leadership and productivity.”
“The Oklahoma County Board of Commissioners needs to focus attention on doing the people’s business and solving the problems of Oklahoma County. I will bring integrity, credibility as well as business and public service experience to the Board of County Commissioners,” Johnston concluded.
Johnston is a lifelong resident of Oklahoma County. He and his wife, Pam, have been married for 28 years and have 4 children and 5 grandchildren. He's been a police officer with the Bethany and Oklahoma City police departments and has owned and operated Johnston Oilfield Equipment in Oklahoma City for 24 years. He was elected to the Bethany City Council to serve Ward 3 in 1996. He won election as Mayor of Bethany in 1999 and served unopposed in that position until 2006.
