And we will remain focused on the issues in the days, months, & years to come. We are part of a national movement for criminal justice reform that is only beginning. We remain hopeful and committed to doing the work that is necessary to create lasting change.
The votes have been counted, and while we didn’t quite get the majority, we claim so many types of victory. We started a crucial conversation about the justice system in Yolo County. We listened to and learned from each other.
In just 133 days, we were able to boldly challenge a 12-year incumbent. And we did it with integrity. We didn’t dilute our message of transformational change. We didn’t resort to fear-mongering or mudslinging. We stayed focused on the issues.
We made Yolo County stronger by building connections across communities separated by distance and differing experiences. We showed elected officials that we are paying attention and that the people of Yolo County demand no less than true justice.
While our opponent went ahead & declared victory for himself shortly after the early vote came in, we’re going to wait until the 18,640 uncounted ballots at the county elections office (+ more arriving today & tomorrow) get counted before jumping to any conclusions. Stay tuned!
A mere 133 days after announcing his intent to run for DA at the Davis library, Dean returned to the same location today to cast his ballot. Happy election day! Go contribute to a healthy democracy by casting your ballot. #Dean4DA

We need reform and sensible punishments, not trumped up charges and the incredibly expensive and ineffective policies related to mass incarceration. #Dean4DA https://t.co/hU14MI4sWY
By charging shoplifters with felonies, Yolo County DA Jeff Reisig is circumventing Prop 47, intended to reduce CA prison populations. But now he faces opposition for DA from Dean Johansson, a public defender, in the June 5th election. https://t.co/SuvV4cFLnD via @theappeal
Thank you to our hundreds of dedicated volunteers who have turned this campaign into a movement. Together we can elect a DA with integrity, experience, and the will to create a justice system that works. Vote #Dean4DA.
