He was unopposed in the primary and faced Democrat construction worker Ron Hadsell in the general election.[1] Johnson won with 58.38% of the vote.[2] In 2012, he carried 64.07% of the vote as he was easily re-elected to a second term over Portsmouth City Council President John Haas.[3] He earned a third term in 2014, again carrying 64% of the vote over Thom Davis.[4]
Johnson's 2010 election made him the first Republican to capture the seat since 1954,[5] and his 2012 re-election campaign saw him become the first Republican to earn major endorsements and support from area labor unions.[6]
In 2011, Johnson was named Family Physician of the Year by the Ohio State chapter of the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians.[7]
