Julius Johnson is running for Georgia State Senate seat/district 120. Earlier in March, Johnson qualified as a Democratic candidate for the seat. He faces no challengers in his party for the June 9 General Primary Elections, Nonpartisan General Election, and Special Elections, but will be running against either incumbent Larry Walker (R-20) or Republican candidate Franklin E. Wetmore for the November 3 General Election.

Johnson’s family roots date back to the early 1800s in Houston County on his maternal side. It was his great-great-grandmother Mariah who arrived from South Carolina with the family of Henry Wimberly to help manage the newly acquired 2,000 acres of land, which later became the Wimberly plantation on Wimberly Road in Houston County.

Johnson is a real estate investor and co-founder of Johnson Development LLC, a Defense contracting company offering Engineering, cyber security, and training to federal, state and local government. He is currently completing his doctorate in psychology at Howard University in Washington, DC, and Johnson holds a masters degree from Yale University and completed his undergraduate studies at St. Lawrence University.
