Scott Johnson

Scott L. Johnson (born 1954) is an American farmer, consultant, and Republican politician. He is a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, representing Wisconsin's 33rd Assembly district since January 2023.

Biography Scott Johnson was raised on his family's farm near Janesville, Wisconsin, and graduated from Milton High School. He went on to earn his bachelor's degree in agricultural economics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, in 1977, and attended a master's program at University of Wisconsin–Whitewater.

Johnson owns and operates his own farm, and has worked for many years as a farm consultant, including employment by the large agro-chemical company Monsanto. He also worked as a school bus driver in the Jefferson school district for more than 20 years.

Political career

He was elected to the Fort Atkinson school board in 1998 and was re-elected several times, serving continuously through 2014.

After the Spring 2022 election, Horlacher announced he would not run for re-election in the 2022 election, and would instead run for a Wisconsin circuit court judgeship in 2023. Johnson announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination to replace Horlacher in the 33rd Assembly district. He narrowly defeated Jefferson mayor Dale Oppermann in the Republican primary. In the general election, he faced incumbent Democratic state representative Don Vruwink, who had been drawn into the 33rd Assembly district by the 2022 redistricting plan. This proved to be the closest Assembly race in the state in 2022, and Johnson prevailed by just 247 votes (0.91%).

He took office in January 2023.

Personal life and family Scott Johnson and his wife Jill live on a farm in the town of Hebron, Wisconsin. They have two adult children.
