David G. Johnson
Candidate for Assembly District 23
David G. Johnson is the Republican Party's pick, for California Assembly District 23. The vote is on November 3, 2026. He is running against the Democratic incumbent, Marc Berman. Johnson advanced to the general vote, after the primary held on June 2, 2026. Past his run for office, and his party, few facts about him are confirmed. No fact that could be checked on its own -- like his age, his hometown, his job, his schooling, or any office he held before -- could be found through sources on hand, as of this research. His Ballotpedia page shows he had not filled out Ballotpedia's 2026 survey, called 'Candidate Connection.' It lists no group that backs him, and no data on his campaign funds. This points to a campaign that is low-key, or one that lacks much support, so far. Prior office: none found. This looks like his first run for office; no prior office is confirmed for him. He runs against incumbent Marc Berman, a Democrat.
