Dr. Terry Johnson (born November 3, 1956) is a Republican member of the Ohio House of Representatives for the 90th district. He is an osteopathic physician who became a member of the Ohio House of Representatives in 2011. He was unopposed in the primary and faced Democrat construction worker Ron Hadsell in the general election. Johnson won with 58.38% of the vote.〔(2010 general election results )〕 In 2012, he carried 64.07% of the vote as he was easily re-elected to a second term over Portsmouth City Council President John Haas.〔()〕 He earned a third term in 2014, again carrying 64% of the vote as he dispatched Democrat Thom Davis. Johnson's 2010 election made him the first Republican to capture the seat since 1954,〔(Johnson sworn in as 90th District Rep )〕 and his 2012 re-election campaign saw him become the first Republican to earn major endorsements and support from area labor unions.〔()〕 In 2011, Johnson was named Family Physician of the Year by the Ohio State chapter of the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Johnson named 2011 Ohio Family Physician of the Year )〕 ==2010 Campaign and Election== Dr. Terry Johnson first considered running for State Representative in 2009. At the time, he was the Scioto County Coroner and serving in Iraq as a member of the Ohio National Guard. Johnson described his thought process in an interview with a southern Ohio newspaper, the Community Common, saying: ''"I have considered running for state representative because it's the right thing to do. We need someone with a good education, a good personality, someone that comes from our area to represent the 89th District. When you set back and look at all the wonderful people we have that do not step up, and you think they should step up, you have to look in the mirror. So, I looked in the mirror." 〔(Dr. Terry Johnson to consider running for State Rep )〕'' Johnson received positive feedback and officially launched his campaign later that year. Shortly after Johnson entered the race, the only other declared candidate—Democrat Bob Walton, Jr. -- withdrew, saying it was "not the right time" for him to run.〔(OH-89: Democratic candidate drops out in key house district )〕 Two new candidates, businessman Ron Hadsell and Scioto County Commissioner Mike Crabtree, later competed for the Democratic nomination. Hadsell won the nomination in a race so divisive that Crabtree ended up endorsing Johnson and leaving the Democratic party.〔(Dems disown Crabtree for GOP support )〕 Johnson received numerous endorsements during the course of the 2010 campaign, including one from the Ironton Tribune in which they praised his leadership and experience fighting prescription drug abuse〔(Dr. Johnson should make a House call )〕 At end of the campaign, Johnson was elected by a wide margin. Immediately after the results came in, he vowed to set his sights on southern Ohio's problem of prescription drug abuse, saying "We know what our priority is here in Scioto County. It’s what is killing us. It’s prescription drug abuse." 〔(Johnson tops Hadsell in state rep race )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Terry Johnson (Ohio politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
