My favorite is Mayor Johnston Green played by the
wonderful, GERALD MCRANEY.
WHY did CBS cancel that show? I LOVED it!!

Johnston Green is the best one in my mind. He portrayed what a good leader should be.

My Vote:
19. Mayor Johnston Green
Show: ‘Jericho’
Played by: Gerald McRaney

As this whole political circus started WWWAAAYYY back when, I said to myself “I sure do wish Matt Santos (Jimmy Smits) were running. I’d vote for HIM!” Now, even more so!
Can we stage a ‘write in’ campaign?

I vote for Mayor Johnston Green, with Mayor Quimby second.

I vote for Mayor Johnston Green over anyone else on the list.

I too vote for Mayor Johnston Green from Jericho. Gerald McRaney was so amazing in the part.

My vote would be for Mayor Johnson Green also.
He is down to earth and tells it like it is without mincing words. We need officals like him!!

Hey, I’d vote for GERALD MCRANEY for real if he were running!!!
He couldn’t do any worse than those who are running!
And I bet he’d do better!
But he was GREAT on JERICHO, that’s for sure.

Johnston Green was smart, wise, funny and a strong leader. He certainly gets my endorsement.
