Longtime cop announces campaign to challenge Snohomish County sheriff
LAKE STEVENS — A longtime local law enforcement officer will run for sheriff against incumbent Adam Fortney in 2023.
Susanna Johnson, 55, of Lake Stevens, has more than 30 years of policing experience. She worked at the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office until 2020, when she took a job at the Bothell Police Department where she currently serves as deputy chief.
The candidate said she is running with the intention to “rebuild” the sheriff’s reputation and trustworthiness in the community.
“I feel like the sheriff’s office needs a new leader,” Johnson told The Daily Herald. “Somebody that’s not afraid of change and has this actual knowledge and experience to deploy effective law enforcement strategies and make the county safe and build trust.”
