MEET LIZ
Committed • Determined • Qualified by Her Journey
"Thank you for visiting to learn more about me, my values, my community work and my campaign for U.S. House of Representatives in Georgia’s 12th Congressional District.
"As a woman, wife, mother and grandmother whose life journey hasn’t been easy, yet has led me to a desire of leaving the world a better place for us all. Thus, I am running to win this Georgia Congressional seat for you, your family and families like yours; for me, my family and families like mine; and for the many whose shoes I have very possibly walked in who are continuously striving to achieve the GREAT American dream.
"Because at the end of the day, we all really do want the same things in life: to earn at least a living wage during our working years, to receive the best of health care, to be safe in our homes and communities, to ensure that our children are provided top-quality education, to enjoy our elder years, then to leave a better quality of life and world for our children, grandchildren and generations to come.
I am the woman for the job so I ask for your support. If you live in Georgia District 12, I also ask for your vote."
Warm regards,
Elizabeth "LIZ" Johnson
2024 Candidate for U.S. House of Representatives,
Georgia District 12
Elizabeth “LIZ” Johnson has been a Georgia 12th resident for the past 28 years. Married 26 years to a retired law enforcement officer. Together they have seven adult children, nineteen grandchildren and several great-grandchildren.
Liz Johnson worked in the insurance industry for 30 years before retiring. During her insurance career, Liz worked diligently to enhance the lives of many by providing aid and solutions to people’s needs and concerns.
Over many years as a proven leader in her community, Liz has dedicated her time and talents as an elected officer and appointed board member with such organizations as: a Regional Library Board, C.A.S.A. (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children), Habitat for Humanity, Lions Club, a school board zoning task force, Performing Arts mom, and PTA/PTO mom, just to name a few.
“At this time in history, we need individuals at every level of elected office who care about us, our families, our communities, our environment, humanity and our future together. I am that person!” –Liz Johnson.
As a woman in politics, Liz has served at the county, district, and state committee level of the Democratic Party of Georgia for over 25 years. In 2012, after being elected by her state committee peers, Liz also served as one of six Democratic National Committee members to represent the state of Georgia.
In 2014, Liz Johnson’s bid for Georgia Insurance Commissioner made her among few women and even fewer women of color to gain a major party nomination for a statewide executive office. That November, Liz received over 1 million votes statewide, giving Liz Johnson a well-recognized name in Georgia politics.
In 2020, after winning the Democratic Primary with 84% of the votes, Liz Johnson then came within striking distance of winning the U.S. House of Representatives seat in Georgia's 12th Congressional District.
In 2022, Elizabeth "LIZ" Johnson again became the Democratic Nominee. After falling short of the General Election victory in 2020 and 2022, Elizabeth "LIZ" Johnson has returned more inspired than ever to win this seat for the far too many residents in Georgia's 12th, Georgia and across America who remain overlooked and underrepresented. You now know that Liz is committed, determined and qualified by her journey of life experiences and community service.
At this critical moment in history, we need LIZ in Congress! Someone who cares about us, our families, our communities, our environment, humanity and our future together.
It's Time We Elect Elizabeth "LIZ" Johnson to the U.S. House of Representatives from Georgia's 12th district! Our Future Together Matters!
