Anthropologist Margaret Mead said, "never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has." My name is Jamell Johnson and I am excited to be a candidate for the position of Councilman, Place- 5 in order to continue serving the Town of Little Elm. Personally, and professionally, I have a passion for service and giving back. My wife and I relocated to the Town of Little Elm two years ago from Indianapolis, IN. When looking for a place to stay we couldn’t help but admire the cities small-town feel and growth potential. I immediately became involved by completing the Citizens Government Academy and being appointed as the Zoning Board of Adjustment volunteer for Place - 5. Throughout my time I’ve learned an ample amount of history about Little Elm and really hope to build into the future with the citizens of this great Town. 

I currently attend Loyola University Chicago School of Law distance learning MJ program and I've earned my Bachelor of Science degree from Ball State University in Criminal Justice. My day time job consists of Corporate Compliance in the Financial Industry and I have been in the military for roughly nine years. Throughout my military career, I've been fortunate enough to wear several hats but nothing more meaningful than my current position as an Equal Opportunity Leader, where I have had a chance to ensure fair treatment for military personnel, family members, and civilians.
