Susan Johnston, who has publically announced her
intention to file as a candidate for the open Ward 2
city council seat in Oklahoma City will be the guest
speaker at the February 10 meeting of the Oklahoma Gay & Lesbian
Political Caucus (OGLPC), beginning at 7:00 pm, at the Center,
2135 NW 39.
Susan Johnston, 44, is co-owner of Don's J&J
Garage, and an active civic volunteer with urban
revitalization efforts, schools and community
beautification. Ms. Johnston is the business
recruitment chairwoman of OKC's empowerment zone,
vice chairwoman of advocacy and awareness at Oklahoma
City Beautiful, president of the Denniston Park
Neighborhood Association and board secretary of the
Jesus House.
Johnston, an OKC native, says she wants to focus on
city operations and improve efficiency.
"I feel right now where we are with our budget
shortfalls and economic development, this is a very
good time for me to change the role of my
volunteerism and bring my talents to the city
council," Johnston said.
If you live in Ward 2, currently represented by Amy
Brooks who is not running for reelection, please plan
on attending Monday's meeting. Or alternatively, come
be the ears for a friend.

seat. Information about Mr. Bowman will be made
