He's been the judge of this court since 2018, overseeing veterans treatment court, juvenile court, and serving as administrative judge over the Hays County Courts at Law.

Johnson was first elected in 2018 and has spent eight years on the bench in Hays County. He narrowly won his Democratic primary runoff and will face Republican Charmaine Wilde in November.

Judges aren't allowed to take sides on these values — it's against judicial ethics rules. The best clue to how a judge thinks is the party they run with.
