Johansen initially filed for re-election in District 33 as a Republican, but ultimately he decided to instead run as an Independent. Johansen says he will better serve the voters by running as an Independent. "Frankly, I'm just kind of disheartened by party politics in general. A lot of it is personality-driven and I'm focusing on issues and moving this district forward and the state forward in all the things that we deal with," Johansen said. Johansen was challenged by Matt Olsen (D) and incumbent Peggy Wilson (R) in the general election which took place on November 6, 2012. Johansen was defeated in the general election.
