Two candidates for open seat on LFP Council

By Evan Smith

Two candidates are running for the open seat on the Lake Forest Park City Council now held by Councilman and Deputy Mayor Dwight Thompson, who is giving up the position to run for mayor.

One is Chuck Paulson, who ran for a Council position two years ago but finished third in a close three-way primary, then endorsed eventual winner John Wright over Wright’s general election opponent, Jean Thomas.

The other candidate is Jeff Johnson, owner of Johnson's Auto Repair, who describes himself as an “active community volunteer.”
