Johnson owns and operates his own farm,and has worked for many years as a farm consultant,including employment by the large agro-chemical company Monsanto. He also worked as a school bus driver in the Jefferson school district for more than 20 years. [2]
He was elected to the Fort Atkinson school board in 1998 and was re-elected several times,serving continuously through 2014. [1] Johnson made his first run for Wisconsin State Assembly in 2014, [2] running in the Republican primary for the 33rd Assembly district,which was being vacated by incumbent Stephen Nass,who was instead running for State Senate. Johnson came in second in that primary,behind Cody Horlacher,who went on to represent the district for the next 8 years. [3]
After the Spring 2022 election,Horlacher announced he would not run for re-election in the 2022 election,and would instead run for a Wisconsin circuit court judgeship in 2023. [4] Johnson announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination to replace Horlacher in the 33rd Assembly district. He narrowly defeated Jefferson mayor Dale Oppermann in the Republican primary. [1] [5] In the general election,he faced incumbent Democratic state representative Don Vruwink,who had been drawn into the 33rd Assembly district by the 2022 redistricting plan. This proved to be the closest Assembly race in the state in 2022,and Johnson prevailed by just 247 votes (0.91%). [6]
He took office in January 2023.
