Johnson, Ron

Ron Johnson represents Wisconsin as a Republican member of the House.

Beyond fiscal policy, he is known for his stance on national security, border management, and healthcare. He has sponsored legislation such as the Iran Nuclear Treaty Act and the SOAR Permanent Authorization Act. Throughout his tenure, he has remained a critic of federal programs like Social Security, suggesting partial privatization, and has consistently supported the expansion of free trade and the protection of Second Amendment rights.
