Ron Johnson
Ron Wayne Johnson (born November 16, 1966 in Brantford, Ontario) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada. He was a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1995 to 1999.
Johnson was educated at the Brantford Collegiate Institute and the Transport Canada Training Institution. Before entering politics, he worked as the editor of the Brant News.
He was elected to the Ontario parliament in the 1995 provincial election, defeating Liberal Dave Neumann by over 3,000 votes in Brantford . Incumbent New Democratic Party candidate Brad Ward finished third.
Johnson's victory was unexpected, and he played a very minimal role in the parliament which followed. He was often absent from the legislature, and held no official legislative responsibilities of any sort after 1997. Johnson also attracted controversy for receiving $18,000 from the provincial government in mileage expenses. Not surprisingly, he did not seek re-election in 1999.
