He is the former chairperson of the Michigan Democratic Party,[3][4] having served in that position from 2013 through 2015.[1][5] He was an unsuccessful candidate in the 2012 election for the 103rd district in the Michigan House of Representatives.[6] He was the Democratic nominee for Michigan's 1st congressional district in the 2016 election, losing to Republican Jack Bergman in the general election by well over 50,000 votes.[7] Personal lifeJohnson was born in Rockwood, Michigan. His father is a retired machinist and his grandfather was a steelworker. He graduated from Arizona State University. He is a son of Vivian L. Pluff of Onsted, Michigan, and Gary S. Johnson of Richland, Pennsylvania.[8] Lon has an identical twin brother, Lance Johnson. On October 22, 2011, Johnson married Julianna Smoot,[8] a fundraiser for Democrats. She was a Deputy Manager of Barack Obama's 2012 presidential reelection campaign,[9] having previously served as White House Social Secretary, Deputy Assistant to the President,[10] and Chief of Staff to United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk. His wife's employment in the Obama reelection effort was a campaign issue.[11] CareerJohnson has worked for the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee,[12] and Congressman John Dingell's 2002 campaign.[1][12] Johnson also worked for a non-profit called the National Democratic Institute. During his time there he traveled to Iraq to help with the installation of a political system based on democratic governance.[13] He was formerly vice president of a private equity firm in Tennessee, TVV Capital,[14] a private fund in Nashville that invests in small and midsize manufacturers and other companies, chiefly in the Southeast.[8] Political campaigns2012 Michigan House of Representatives campaignJohnson made an unsuccessful bid in the 2012 elections to unseat incumbent Republican Representative Bruce Rendon in the 103rd district of the Michigan House of Representatives.[2][6] During the election, his opponent made the employment of his wife, Julianna Smoot, in the Obama reelection effort a campaign issue.[11] His endorsements included the Mackinac Sierra Club Chapter, Michigan League of Conservation Voters, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan, and PrideSource.[15] Johnson's campaign raised a total of $347,637 during the 2012 election cycle.[16] 2013 Michigan Democratic Party Chairperson electionOn February 5, 2013, Johnson announced his intentions to become Michigan Democratic Party Chairperson.[14][17] The two-year position was voted on during the Michigan Democratic Party Convention at Cobo Hall in Detroit on February 23, 2013.[27] Johnson's main opponent was Mark Brewer. Brewer was the longest-serving Democratic Party chairperson in the US, having first been elected to the position in 1995.[5][14][18] All seven Democrats in Michigan’s congressional delegation signed a letter sent to party members on February 5, 2013 which announced their collective endorsement of Johnson for the chair of the state party.[14][17][19] He also received the support of the United Auto Workers,[5][19] while his opponent, Mark Brewer, had the support of the Michigan Education Association.[5][20] Johnson said he intended to hire an executive director to oversee day-to-day operations of the state headquarters while he focused on campaign and outreach efforts.[20] On the day of the election, February 23, 2013, Mark Brewer withdrew from the race. Brewer announced his decision to thousands of delegates to withdraw rather than continue a floor election. Johnson was elected chairperson shortly after Brewer's announcement.[3][4] 2016 U.S. House campaignOn June 25, 2015, Johnson announced his intentions to step down as Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party and run for Michigan's 1st congressional district.[7] His tenure as Chair officially ended on July 11, 2015, when a new Chair was selected by the state party's executive committee.[7] Republican incumbent Dan Benishek is retiring.[21] Johnson won the Democratic primary in August 2016. He faced Republican nominee Jack Bergman in the November 2016 general election.[22] Bergman won 55% of the vote to Johnson's 40%.[23][24] Electoral history{{Election box begin no change |title=Michigan's 103rd state House of Representatives District General Election, 2012[25]}}{{Election box winning candidate with party link no change|| party = Republican Party (US) | candidate = Bruce Rendon (I) | votes = 23,308 | percentage = 52.8 | change = -9.6 }}{{Election box candidate with party link no change| | party = Democratic Party (US) | candidate = Lon Johnson | votes = 20,832 | percentage = 47.2 | change = +9.7 }}{{Election box hold with party link without swing| |winner = Republican Party (US) }}{{Election box end}} References1. ^1 2 {{cite news |url=http://www.michiganradio.org/post/electoral-college-reform-2014-gov-race-and-democratic-infighting-oh-my | title=Electoral College reform, 2014 Gov race, and Democratic infighting (Oh my!) | work=Michigan Radio | date=February 3, 2013 | accessdate=February 5, 2013 | author1=Clark, Zoe |author2=Pluta, Rick}} 2. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://www.mlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/02/convict_accuses_michigan_democ.html | title=Michigan Democratic leader Mark Brewer denies convict's accusation of concocting fake Tea Party scheme; Republican leader calls for resignation | work=MLive | date=February 1, 2013 | accessdate=February 5, 2013 | author=Oosting, Jonathan}} 3. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20130223/NEWS/130229928/state-dems-dump-longtime-chair-mark-brewer-elect-lon-johnson | title=Longtime chair Mark Brewer is out; state Dems elect Lon Johnson | work=Crain's Detroit Business | date=February 23, 2013 | agency=Associated Press | accessdate=February 23, 2013 | author=Gautz, Chris}} 4. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://www.freep.com/article/20130223/NEWS15/130223033/Mark-Brewer-exits-race-party-chair-after-tense-day-Michigan-Democratic-convention | title=Mark Brewer exits race for party chair after tense day at Michigan Democratic convention | work=Detroit Free Press | date=February 23, 2013 | accessdate=February 23, 2013 | author=Gray, Kathleen}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |url=http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2013/02/05/key-democrats-back-challenger-to-party-chairman/ | title=Key Democrats back challenger to party chairman | work=WWJ-TV | date=February 5, 2013 | agency=Associated Press | accessdate=February 5, 2013 | author=Eggert, David}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|newspaper=Detroit News |accessdate=January 1, 2013 |url=http://www.detroitnews.com/article/99999999/POLITICS0106/121101009 |date=December 31, 2012 |title=Michigan House of Representatives results |agency=Associated Press |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140806114004/http://www.detroitnews.com/article/99999999/POLITICS0106/121101009 |archivedate=August 6, 2014 |df= }} 7. ^1 2 {{Cite web | title = Dem party chair Lon Johnson to challenge U.S. Rep.
