Biography of Kaytlynn Johnson Pacific Regional Representative
Kaytlynn Johnston is an enrolled member of the Bishop Paiute Tribe of California. She was re-elected as the Pacific Region Representative. She is the daughter of Carrie and Tony Brown and the granddaughter to the late Jennette Kay Barlow and Kenneth Ray Jones Sr. She is currently a senior at Bishop Union High School. She absolutely loves volunteering and bettering her community in any way she can and being apart of the Bishop Tribal Youth Council serving as the Female Co-President.
Being the Pacific Region Representative gives her the opportunity to be a role model for other native youth in the Pacific Region as well as a role model within native communities across the United States. I’m beyond excited to start this chapter of being the Pacific Representative and getting to meet all of the different youth councils within my region. Don’t be afraid to reach out I’m here to be your voice!
