Kilmer statement
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Congressman Derek Kilmer remembered the late Phil Johnson, former Jefferson County commission chairman, as a kind, passionate man in a statement issued Wednesday.
Johnson died Tuesday morning in Port Townsend of complications of Parkinson’s Disease.
He was 72.
He had served three terms on the Jefferson County commission and chose not to seek re-election two years ago because of failing health.
“I am so grateful that I had the chance to know Phil Johnson who admirably served the people of Jefferson County,” Kilmer, a Democrat living in Gig Harbor, said in the statement.
“He was such a kind man, so passionate about public service and about the people he represented.
“He cared so much about our country and our planet, and he made both better through his work. I am sending my heart and prayers to his family today.”
