Greta Johnson

In March of 2017, Johnson stepped down as State Representative and took a position as Deputy Director of Law, Insurance, and Risk Management for Summit County Executive Ilene Shapiro. She currently serves as the Assistant Chief of Staff and Public Information Officer for the Executive's office.

As an incumbent, Johnson faced no Democratic challenger in the May 2016 primary. In the 2016 general election, Johnson successfully defended her seat against Republican challenger Aimee N. Cooper. Johnson served on Hillary Clinton's Ohio Leadership Team in 2016 to assist Clinton in winning Ohio in the 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries.

Johnson challenged incumbent Democrat Zach Milkovich in the 2014 Democratic Primary. The Summit County Democratic Party broke with tradition to endorse her against her in her bid to oust her Democratic, incumbent rival from the Statehouse. Johnson was also endorsed by the Akron Beacon Journal.

In the 2014 general election, Johnson won against Republican challenger Linda Robinson. Johnson was one of only two Democrats elected to the Statehouse from Summit County. Her campaign focused on the value of early education in public schools and the rights of women. She was also critical of state cuts to local schools and local governments.
