Ron Johnson's Strategy

Travel

• Feb. 25 - Senator Johnson returns to Wisconsin to host a telephone town hall event.
• Feb. 24 - Senator Johnson was in D.C. to head a committee meeting to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and independence of Inspectors General
• Feb. 11 - Senator Johnson honored two WI police officers during a ceremony for their bravery during the Sikh Temple shooting 

Press Releases

Senator Johnson's website provides a list of press releases which allows the public to stay informed on his activities. A more recent press release states that Sen. Johnson will hold a telephone town hall on Wednesday, Feb. 25 during which "he will speak directly with constituents to answer their questions and discuss the problems facing America." Another advocates for the Keystone XL Pipeline stating that "It creates thousands of construction jobs. If you're concerned about the environment, which we all are, the State Department's own studies showed that it would produce less carbon dioxide to move oil from Canada by Keystone than by any other method." Finally Sen. Johnson also urges Secretary of State John Kerry to immediately tighten international sanctions against Russia and provide defensive weapons to Ukraine so it can defend its territorial sovereignty.

Mailers

Senator Johnson keeps his constituents up to date through various methods. His official website provides a newsletter which is updated a least monthly and provides a sort of summary of his work both in his office and in the various committees in which he participates.  If his constituents desire to keep up with their senator more frequently then they can follow his Twitter account which posts his activities on a daily basis. Johnson also encourages direct communication from the people he represents as he mentions that "hearing from [his] constituents is a top priority." He does this by providing multiple avenues of communication, email, telephone events, etc., to make it easier.

Bills sponsored/cosponsored

Senator Johnson is only currently sponsoring two bills in the 114th congress.

• S208 - Secure the Boarder Act First of 2015
• S129 - Repeal Executive Amnesty Act of 2015

He is however cosponsoring another twenty three bills some of which include: 

• S339 - ObamaCare Repeal Act
• S333 - Dollar-for-Dollar Deficit Reduction Act
• S334 - End Government Shutdowns Act.

Ron Jonson has sponsored a total of fourteen and cosponsored a total of  238 bills during his tenure in Congress.

"If you do things well one at a time, you end up in a really good place. Don't get ahead of yourself. Control the things you can."
