Resilience and perseverance in the journey of Mike Johnson. A timeline of obstacles and growth.
Mike Johnson is an American lawyer and politician who has served as the 56th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives since 2023. As a member of the Republican Party, he has represented Louisiana's 4th congressional district since 2017, marking his fifth term in the House.
In 1984, Mike Johnson's father, Pat Johnson, was severely injured and disabled in a fire while serving with the Shreveport Fire Department.
In August 2012, Mike Johnson resigned from the Pressler School of Law at Louisiana College.
On May 19, 2015, the Marriage and Conscience Act, proposed by Mike Johnson, was effectively ended when the House Civil Law and Procedure Committee voted to table the bill.
On March 6, 2024, the House of Representatives passed a $459 billion spending package. This "minibus" spending package, containing six of the twelve appropriations bills, faced strong opposition from the right wing of the Republican party who felt it lacked conservative policy wins.
On May 8, 2024, Representative Greene introduced a motion to vacate Johnson's speakership, leading to a House vote. The House voted to table the motion by 359 to 43, allowing Johnson to remain speaker. Democrats supporting Johnson cited his role in funding the federal government and Ukraine as a key reason.
In May 2024, an effort to oust Mike Johnson from the speakership failed with two-thirds of the House voting to keep him in office.
