Johnson Earns Financial Support of SarahPAC

Press Release

Candidate for Congress Bill Johnson today announced a donation from Sarah Palin's political action committee (SarahPAC).

Last March 23, the day President Obama signed the health care bill, Sarah Palin announced 20 house races targeted by her SarahPAC, including Ohio's 6th district.

In the announcement, Palin said she was targeting Representatives that voted for Obamacare and who represent districts won by Senator John McCain and herself in 2008. The McCain/Palin ticket won Ohio's 6th district 50%-48%.

In receiving a financial commitment from SarahPAC, Bill Johnson said it would help him deliver his message of real leadership across the district.

"Everywhere I go across the district, people cite Wilson's vote for Obamacare as a top concern," Johnson said. "We've already delivered a down payment of over 400 pink slips, and now SarahPAC's support will help me explain how I'm different -- how I'll represent the values of Eastern and Southern Ohio."

Johnson thanked Palin for SarahPAC's donation.

"Sarah Palin's support is greatly appreciated," Johnson said. "Besides the financial support, we appreciate her shining the national spotlight on Wilson's failed leadership for Eastern and Southern Ohio."

The 6th congressional district encompasses all or parts of 12 counties stretching along the Ohio River from Mahoning County just south of Youngstown to Scioto County just east of Portsmouth.

Bill Johnson is a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel who resides in Poland with his wife LeeAnn and son Nathan. He currently works in a senior management IT role with a public traded company headquartered in Northeast Ohio.
