Prior to her election in 2017, she served for 32 years at the King County Sheriff's Office, holding the rank of Major. Early life and educationJohanknecht was born in Seattle and raised in Burien, Washington, as the third of five children. She graduated from Bainbridge Island High School and played collegiate basketball at the University of Washington and Western Washington University;[1][2] she initially attended college with the intent of majoring in education.[3] CareerJohanknecht joined the King County Sheriff's Office in 1985.[1] She spent her early years at an experimental police substation at a low-income apartment complex in Kent, assisting in undercover investigations and serving as a community liaison.[4] Johanknecht, promoted to the rank of sergeant, served as the second-in-command at the Shoreline precinct until 1997. She was transferred to the Kenmore precinct and demoted after making comments on behalf of a city council candidate that were deemed inappropriate for a high-ranking officer. The transfer prompted a protest by her supporters outside Shoreline's city hall, where she practiced community policing and was well liked.[5] She was made captain in 1998 and later became the first female deputy to lead the office's SWAT team.[1] In 2013, she was assigned to command the Criminal Investigations Division and the Southwest Precinct in Burien.[1][6] 2017 electionJohanknecht announced her candidacy for Sheriff in May 2017, looking to unseat incumbent John Urquhart after a tenure marked by allegations of bias, harassment, and sexual assault.[1][6][7] Johanknecht, backed by former County Executive Ron Sims and U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal, faced Urquhart in a "bitterly contested" race for the office.[8] Urquhart allegedly directed his staff to confront and intimidate Johanknecht and her supporters, namely captains in the department and the police union, prior to the announcement of her candidacy.[9] Johanknecht led in initial returns, with 61 percent of votes, and was declared the winner of the election by major media outlets.[10] Urquhart conceded days later, wishing Johanknecht the best of luck and lamenting that "reformers only last one term".[7] In the final vote count, Johanknecht led with nearly 57 percent of votes.[11] Following the election, Johanknecht said that Urquhart had refused to contact her, and she instead sought advice about the transition from former sheriff Sue Rahr and the sheriffs of Pierce and Snohomish counties.[12] Tenure as sheriffJohanknecht took office on January 2, 2018, taking Captain Scott Somers from the Burien precinct as chief deputy sheriff and promoting officers from other precincts to new positions.[12][13] Personal lifeJohanknecht lives with her wife Maureen in West Seattle.[14] They have an adult daughter who lives in New York.[1] Johanknecht is an associate member of the production team for the Seattle Men's Chorus and Seattle Women's Chorus and serves on the board of the non-profit network Companis.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite news |last=Kamb |first=Lewis |date=May 11, 2017 |title=Longtime deputy challenges John Urquhart for King County sheriff |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/longtime-deputy-challenges-john-urquhart-for-king-county-sheriff/ |work=The Seattle Times |accessdate=November 10, 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Johanknecht, Mitzi}}2. ^{{cite news |date=January 23, 1979 |title=S.U. women to risk win streak |page=E4 |work=The Seattle Times}} 3. ^1 {{cite book |last=Lunneborg |first=Patricia |year=2004 |title=Women Police: Portraits of Success |page=229 |publisher=iUniverse |location=New York |isbn=9780595320752 |oclc=937347625 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XcutQ8IIu_oC |via=Google Books |accessdate=November 10, 2017}} 4. ^{{cite news |last=Montgomery |first=Nancy |date=August 5, 1993 |title=Cops plan to make the right move;
