Expand all | Collapse all

My name is Ron Johnson I’m a family man that has 6 daughters 4 sons. I’m running for senator because I’m tired of the political garbage that is going on in Washington. My philosophy is this. take care of our own first uphold the constitution and everything that it stands for and nothing less.
  • I will fight for your rights and not allow them to be taken from you.
  • I’m going to fight for term limits
  • I’m not a politician I’m a down to earth American that cares about what happens to you
Policies that are a top priority for me are keeping your rights as an American by that I will not stand by and watch them or let them take ANY part of the constitution or any of the amendments and do away with them.
I looked up to my Uncle Glen. Great man. And would tell you how it is and didn’t take any thing less.
Political wise would be president Ronald Reagan. Best president in my life time.
They must and none of them are but they must be honest fair and forthcoming. They need to stop with the mega donors that are influencing them.
I don’t quit and when I go after something that I feel that it’s best then I don’t stop until I get it.
To take care of the people that they represent and STOP all the crap that’s happening in DC
The one that stops Washington from taking your rights away
Very strong on term limits. That’s one reason I’m running.
The Senate is an independent body of so called responsible citizens who would share power with the president and the House of Representative but 9 times out of 10 that doesn’t happen.
No I don’t believe that that someone should have experience to be in politics.
His experience, how do other judges or lawyers think of him. Is he/she fair committed to his field.
A very strong relationship unless they don’t support the constitution

Campaign website

Johnson's campaign website stated the following:

Serving the People of Pennsylvania
Above all, I am a Pennsylvanian who opposes the corruption in Washington. I represent all Pennsylvanians, regardless of their socioeconomic status. I am fully committed to giving a voice to all citizens of this state, and to standing with our Constitution. Rest assured: your vote will count for something if I am elected to represent Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate.

United By A Common Goal: keeping the Constitution of the United States intact
I‘m a candidate who knows the value of being united, especially under one constitution. Washington wants to take all of your rights away. They actively put in place mandates which deny you the rights which you have, and I’m here to put a stop to it.

I am committed to being clear and open on where I stand on the issues which have pushed me to run for Pennsylvania Senate:

  • Abortion: I am proud to be a committed pro-life candidate.
  • 2nd amendment: I firmly believe that our founding fathers included the 2nd Amendment in our constitution for a reason, and I would never vote to take away your guns.
  • Mandates: As Americans, we should not have invasive restrictions telling us that we have to wear masks in our own homes during the holidays. Americans are better than that.
  • Parental Rights in Education: Big Government wants to tell you what's best for your children? They can't even take care of Washington! The right to say what is taught in our schools should be left up to the parents, not the Federal government.
  • Weaponization of Federal Agencies: We need to elect people who will shut down this type of invasive activity. We don’t need federal agents snooping into our taxes when we pay rent, or the Department of Education telling us that we’re domestic terrorists because we stood up to the school board.
  • Government spending: I am committed to stopping the nonsense and “pork” spending all over Washington, both in the Congress and the Senate. Both are expending taxpayer dollars on foolish causes which have no place in Washington
  • Border Wall and Immigration: We must complete the border wall and increase the funding to immigration services so we can end the migrant stampede which our southern border currently faces.
