Representative Christine Johnson |
I am thrilled to announce my run for re-election for the Utah House of Representatives! It is a distinct honor and privilege to serve the residents of Utah House District Twenty-five. Nearly seventy-six percent of District Twenty-five voters cast their ballot for progressive and forward-thinking leadership in 2006, and I have commited to reflect that direction in the Utah Legislature.
I hope the information, pod-casts and links found in this website facilitate communication between us and help you feel part of the process. Please check in regularly, as I will make every effort to update the site, add recordings during the session and keep current events posted.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you, your family and our community.

 Green Lawmakers: Utah's Legislature this year resisted its usual urge to torpedo environmental legislation. The Sierra Club Utah chapter's annual legislative scorecard finds many earth-friendly bills that in past sessions would never have gotten out of committee, not only got a vote, but passed.
New laws include a tax credit, sponsored by retiring Rep. Roz McGee, D-Salt Lake City, for those buying hybrid or natural-gas-powered cars. Rep. Chris Johnson, D-Salt Lake City, got two environmental friendly bills passed. One will take phosphorous out of dishwashing detergent, helping to clean rivers and lakes. A second will clean exhaust from school buses. The Legislature also funded trails, boosted renewable energy and put water into trout streams. Maybe Mother Nature has been handing out Jazz tickets. - Ted McDonough, Salt Lake City Weekly, 04/17/2008
