Priority Issues:

Johnson's top priorities if elected:

Teachers NOT Testing! -- reform the system of overtesting created by the incumbent;

21st Century Preparation! -- support the efforts of Lt. Gov. Dan Forest and other state leaders to increase the smart, measured access to technology in all classrooms;

Trust Locals NOT Bureaucrats! -- greater support for local education initiatives instead of the one-size-fits-all approach from Raleigh.
