Augustans will be seeing multiple elections this summer and work is already underway.
Augusta Commissioner Jordan Johnson launched his re-election campaign with a barbecue at the Julian Smith Casino on Friday. Johnson represents District 1, which covers downtown Augusta, east Augusta, and much of the surrounding area.
“I believe that we’ve made tremendous progress in the district since I took office in 2021 and I would like the opportunity to continue the work that we began,” he said.

Johnson explained how he first got into this position because he wanted to address the issues he saw in his neighborhoods growing up as a life-long Augustan. Addressing homelessness and infrastructure have been big issues, which led to him co-chairing the Augusta Homeless Task Force.
The commissioners serve as major points-of-contact for the troubled residents of their respective district. In this respect, Johnson has heard many stories from those in need of help through calls, meetings and neighborhood walk-throughs.
