Blake Johnson height - How tall is Blake Johnson?

In February 2015, Johnson supported House Bill 1228, authored by Republican Bob Ballinger of Carroll County in northwestern Arkansas. The measure sought to prohibit government from imposing a burden on the free exercise of religion. Johnson's colleague, Representative Camille Bennett, a Democrat from Lonoke, called for a reworking of the legislation on the theory that the Ballinger bill would establish a "type of religious litmus test" which could impact nearly any law under consideration by the legislature. The legislation was subsequently passed by a large margin in the House and signed into law in revised form, SB 975, by Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson.

From 2005 to 2015, Johnson served on the Corning City Council, including a time on the Parks and Recreation Committee from 2006 to 2009. In 2012, he ran in the general election against incumbent Democratic State Senator Robert F. Thompson. He lost by 447 votes; Thompson polled 13,616 (50.8 percent) to Johnson's 13,169 (49.2 percent). In 2014, Johnson reversed the tide; in a stronger Republican year than in 2012, he unseated Thompson, 12,096 votes (53.8 percent) to 10,405 (46.2 percent).

Johnson graduated from Corning High School in Corning, Arkansas, and Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, with a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. Since 1995, he has farmed rice and soybeans on family-owned land. Johnson is a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
