Johnson Raises Over $100k for Exploratory Committee Effort
Widespread Support Since October Launch
POLAND, Ohio, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Bill Johnson, a conservative Republican considering a run for Congress in Ohio, announced he has raised over $107,000 since beginning his exploratory committee in October last year.
Johnson raised over $107,000 in a period of just over three months. That amount includes hundreds of donations from a dozen counties.
Johnson said the response to the exploratory effort is clearly due to Ohioans' dissatisfaction with Washington.
"I have traveled thousands of miles across Ohio as I've been considering this decision," said Johnson, "and in my travels, no one has ever said the way to get Ohio moving again is with bigger government, more debt, and higher taxes."
"My goal in exploring a campaign was to determine whether or not my experience as a career military officer, a businessman, and someone who lives conservative values could make a difference in Washington," Johnson said. "I'm honored by and grateful for the overwhelming support people have given to this exploratory effort, and the intensity has certainly helped guide my exploration."
Johnson made note that donations and support have come from a wide range of people.
"I'm flattered to have connected with a variety of people on this journey," said Johnson. "Not all are Republicans. Not all have ever been to a TEA Party rally. However, all are fed up with our failed leadership in Congress, and they're willing to get involved to change it."
Johnson will confer with his family and make an announcement about his intentions soon.
