During his decade in Congress, Bill Johnson, whose district includes much of Ohio’s coal country, has staunchly opposed efforts to impose stricter environmental regulations on the energy industry. He has advocated for both natural gas and coal mining and supported the Trump administration’s efforts to remove barriers to energy production.

Personal Actions Commentary

Joined Democratic Congressman Scott Peters for a conversation on Bret Baier's (Fox News) Common Ground podcast. Member of the Problem Solvers Caucus.

Communications Commentary

"I'm reminded of what Ronald Reagan said when he was criticized by some of his friends for finding common ground solutions during his presidency. Reagan said '(they) thought that if I couldn't get everything I asked for, I should jump off the cliff with the flag flying - go down in flames. No, if I can get 70 or 80 percent of what I'm trying to get ... I'll take that and then continue to try to get the rest in the future.'... As Americans, we're all in this together, and we're going to have to work together to solve them."
