Mike Johnston has earned the support of a more progressive former rival as he runs to become the city’s next mayor in a runoff race that will conclude on June 6.
Johnston, flanked by supporters waving blue and yellow signs, lauded Herod for running a visionary campaign for mayor and for her accomplishments in politics including becoming the first out LGBTQ Black woman elected to the state legislature.
“I think Leslie has built an incredible coalition of leaders, of creators, of innovators and people who have real progressive values they want to see brought to the city,” he said. “And for us, that’s a really impressive and important step to broaden our coalition.” Johnston’s nod to Herod’s progressive values hints at the path he sees to the mayor’s office. Both he and Brough were among the moderate candidates in the mayor’s race. Herod ran a campaign to the left of them, endorsing policies like opening a safe drug use site in the city to combat the overdose crisis, something both Brough and Johnston haveJohnston netted the most votes in the April 4 municipal election, 42,273, to move on to the runoff stage. Brough came in second with 34,627.
