:''Not to be confused with [[Michael T. Johnson]], the [[Republican Party|Republican]] state representative from Rapides Parish, [[Louisiana]].''

'''James Michael Johnson''', known as '''Mike Johnson''' (born January 30, 1972), is the 56th [[Speaker]] of the [[United States House of Representatives]], having won the position in a 220-209 special vote on October 25, 2023. He succeededs fellow [[Republican Party|Republican]] [[Kevin McCarthy]] of [[California]], who was forced out of office earlier in the month by eight recalcitrant Republican who called for a vote of confidence in McCarthy. Johnson, a [[conservative]], has been since 2017 the [[U.S. Representative]] for [[Louisiana]]'s 4th congressional district, which encompasses [[Shreveport]], [[Bossier City]], and [[Minden, Louisiana|Minden]] and extends as far south as [[Natchitoches, Louisiana|Natchitoches]] and DeRidder in Beauregard Parish just north of [[Lake Charles]]. His record as Speaker, however, is nothing like the [[conservative]] stalwart most of his House constituents believe him to be.

Prior to his election to Congress in 2016, Johnson, served from 2015 to 2017 in the Louisiana House of Representatives, to which he was unopposed in two elections. A [[Southern Baptist]], he is a strong advocate for student-led [[prayer]] in public education, support for the [[Second Amendment]] right of individuals to own firearms, and opposition to [[abortion]].

A Shreveport native, Johnson graduated from Captain Shreve High School, [[Louisiana State University]] in [[Baton Rouge]], and the LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center. He is affiliated with the [[Council for National Policy]], the [[National Rifle Association]], the American Bar Association, and the Louisiana Family Forum. From 2004 to 2012, Johnson was a trustee of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission within the [[Southern Baptist Convention]]. He has experience as well as a [[radio]] talk host. He was engaged in the practice of law in Benton in Bossier Parish until his searing in to the congressional seat.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mikejohnsonforlouisiana.com/aboutmike|title=Mike Johnson for Louisiana |publisher=Mikejohnsonforlouisiana.com|accessdate=April 8, 2018}}</ref>

As a state lawmaker, Johnson proposed the Louisiana Marriage and Conscience Act, which had it been enacted would have prohibited state government from withholding a certificate, license, contract, or tax deduction based on an individual's views on traditional marriage. The measure failed in a state House committee when critics called it a ruse to discriminate against same-sex couples. Then [[Governor]] [[Bobby Jindal]], who supported Johnson's measure, issued an executive order to implement the intent of the failed legislation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://710keel.com/rep-mike-johnson-calls-his-marriage-and-conscience-act-a-call-for-freedom-and-tolerance/?trackback=tsmclip|title=Rep.

There is no indication that Johnson's perfidy on the foreign aid package will net him intraparty conservative opposition in 2024.
