Campaign themes

In an interview with Patch, Johnson provided the following campaign themes:[2]

My employment history working in management and my current ownership of a business have given me the knowledge and the experience in working with others to make decisions based on long-term views.

I do not agree with the decision regarding high school students walking up to two miles. In my opinion this a decision made necessary by a decision to change school times that was made without realizing the ramifications. My goal would be to work with other members and administration to find a way to reverse the two-mile policy.
