Summary
Juan Carlos Gonzalez just became Metro’s youngest and first Latino Council President — a historic moment for the region serving over 1.7 million people. Appointed to replace Lynn Peterson and then elected in May, Gonzalez brings deep local experience as a longtime councilor for western Washington County.
