Where they stand

Child care costs

The rising cost of childcare has placed a heavy burden on Ohio families, and while much work remains, this is an opportunity to build stronger partnerships between families and businesses.

Local capital projects

From supporting our local parks, museums, and fairgrounds to preserving historic landmarks and improving public health facilities, this funding will help strengthen our communities and improve quality of life for residents throughout Hocking, Perry, Ross, and Vinton counties.

Utility bills and landlords

Responsibility should follow the individual who agreed to the service. House Bill 92 ensures that landlords and new tenants are not stuck covering costs they didn't sign up for, restoring fairness to Ohio's utility system.

Recorded votes

Mark Johnson cast 950 Yea or Nay votes on the roll calls we hold, across 3 terms from 2021 to 2026, all in the Ohio General Assembly, from the Ohio Legislature. Each term opens to every roll call, with the question, the result, how Mark Johnson voted and how the majority of their party voted.

TermChamberYeaNayDid not voteWith party
136th General Assembly, 2025–2026Ohio House, district 923061not recorded100% of 50

"With party" counts only roll calls on which most Republicans and most Democrats voted opposite ways. The Ohio Legislature records who voted Yea and who voted Nay and no one else, so an absence cannot be told from an abstention and neither is counted; only floor votes are listed.
