“After much prayer and consideration, I decided to announce my candidacy for a place on the city council,” he said. “If elected, I would be proud to serve and be a voice for the future of Bullard.”

His wife, Crystal, and daughter, Cristen, own and operate Cristen’s Clothing and Accessories in Bullard. The couple also have a son, Jonathan.

“My main focus is to attract businesses; retail as well as industry,” Johnson said. “Businesses that complement each other.”
