"Thank you for letting me serve the public and the citizens of Idaho for 30 years. I ask for your vote come May of 2016 in the Republican Primary. I believe we need strong leaders in office, not just at the national level but our local and I look forward to serving our community with some new ideas and different approaches to the way we do things," said Jack Johnson.
