First elected to the State Senate in District 49 in a four-way race in 2000 and re-elected in 2002 and 2006, Johnson, a Ham Lake resident, said that she was looking forward to the upcoming race.
“I have had a strong desire to enter the commissioner’s race for some time now,” she said.“While it has been a tremendous honor to have been able to represent my friends and neighbors in the Senate, the residents of Anoka County deserve solid conservative leadership on the board that will work to lower property taxes and cut bureaucracy, and I believe I have the public service background and necessary experience to make that happen.”
