Conservative Republican Bill Johnson today filed over 100 signatures with the Columbiana County Board of Elections.
Johnson and his team collected signatures from all 12 counties that make up the sixth district.
In filing, Johnson said that the time has come to return real leadership to Washington.
"President Obama and his Congressional allies like Charlie Wilson have gotten good at identifying problems, and even blaming them on someone else" Johnson said. "But I offer real leadership - the kind that finds and implements solutions."
Johnson said that his top priority will be creating jobs. In the 3+ years Wilson has served, average unemployment in the district has almost doubled.
"Small businesses face unfunded mandates, unfair competition and undue regulation," Johnson said. "We must find a way to reduce the burden so that business and industry can do what they do best - create jobs."
50 valid signatures are required for placement on the ballot. Petitions are filed in the largest county in the district, hence the filing in Columbiana County. The 6th district encompasses all or parts of 12 counties along the Ohio River from Mahoning to Scioto County.
Bill Johnson retired from the Air Force after a 27-year career and co-founded Johnson-Schley Management Group, Inc., an information technology (IT) consulting company. Later, he formed J2 Business Solutions, Inc., where he focused on providing executive level IT support as a contractor to the U.S. military. Since 2006, Johnson has served as Chief Information Officer of a global manufacturer serving the transportation industry. Johnson and his wife LeeAnn live with son Nathan in Poland, Ohio.
