Biography
Carl Johnson
Occupation: Businessman/Entrepreneur
Blessed to be the fourth generation to call Avalon home and an Avalon High School graduate, I admire what the Council does for the City. I have an interest and receive joy in attending every City Council Meeting no matter what topics are on the Agenda. Staying current on other meetings provided by the City of Avalon’s website is important. As a native businessman/entrepreneur, my interests and capabilities continue to grow.
I am driven to maintain and advance this beautiful community that has given much opportunity to my family. My dedication is shown through other commitments and my character displays integrity. As a councilmember, I will contribute my best effort by utilizing these values.
My views run parallel with those who have previously served our community. “I will be an independent voice of reason, not beholden to any person or organization or City special interest. I will gather the facts before I offer an opinion. I will rely on persuasion and listening to achieve consensus on decisions. I want this great community to thrive and prosper for all its citizens, not just those at the top.”
