About David Johnson
David Johnson is a lifelong Kentuckian, a public school teacher, and someone who believes deeply that government should work for working people—not just the wealthy and well-connected.
He has dedicated his life to serving families, schools, and communities across Eastern Kentucky. As a special education teacher, David works every day with students with disabilities—seeing firsthand how decisions made in Frankfort impact real people in real classrooms.
And let’s be honest—too often, those decisions are made without us in mind.
David comes from this region. With roots in Estill County and a lifetime in Madison County, he knows the struggles families face because he’s lived them and worked alongside them. He understands what it means when schools are underfunded, when healthcare is too expensive, and when communities feel like they’ve been left behind.
That’s why he’s fighting for something better.
David believes in fully funded public schools, affordable healthcare for every family, and a government that is transparent and accountable to the people—not corporate interests or political insiders.
And he doesn’t just talk about change—he’s delivered it.
In 2020, David played a key role in helping pass Kentucky’s Insulin Copay Cap, lowering the cost of life-saving medication for thousands of Kentuckians. That’s what happens when everyday people stand up and demand action.
He’s also someone who respects the history and values of our communities—honoring those who have served, including law enforcement, and understanding that preserving our heritage matters.
David is a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University and continued his education at the University of the Cumberlands. He lives here. He works here. And he’s running to represent the people of Powell, Estill, and Madison Counties—not the political elite.
