Augusta mayor plans to announce re-election campaign
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Augusta Mayor Garnett Johnson is planning to announce his re-election campaign Friday evening.
The announcement will take place at the monthly Food Truck Family Friday, 4104 Windsor Spring Road, at 5 p.m.
Johnson launched Food Truck Family Fridays in 2022 during his initial campaign for mayor as a way to bring families together, support local entrepreneurs and reinvest in Augusta.
The evening will feature live music by Tara and the Snacks and food from a variety of local food vendors.
Johnson was sworn in January 2023.
“This city that I love so much, where I was born and raised. The son of a school bus driver, who grew up in all of the challenges of crime and poverty,” he said.
In June 2022, Johnson won a runoff election against opponent Steven Kendrick.
