Meet Delus Johnson

Lifelong St. Joseph/Andrew County Area Resident

My wife Tara, our 2 year old niece Taylee, and 4 month old daughter Julia live in Andrew County. I grew up in South St. Joseph and my wife was born & raised in the North End. My family has farmed the same ground in Northwest Missouri continuously for over 100 years and my Mom worked in the St. Joseph/Savannah Farmer State banking system for over 55 years. Our roots are here in Northwest Missouri.

Captain-St. Joseph Fire Department

As a Captain on the St. Joseph Fire Department I haven't taken a single sick day in over 9 years. I am very proud of my attendance record on the Fire Department and as your State Representative I will be present on the House Floor for every single vote. I have received the Fire Chief's Life Saving Award, I've been recognized for my perfect attendance, I love my job with a passion, and after 19 years I still look forward to going to work every day. Term limits will lead to a huge turnover in the 2011 legislative session and leadership opportunities will abound. My leadership skills as a Captain on the Fire Department are tested on every call and as your State Representative I will aggressively pursue every leadership opportunity in Jefferson City, especially the ones that benefit Northwest Missouri.
Strong, positive leadership will provide District 28 with exceptional representation.

Business Owner

I strongly believe in Capitalism. I have owned several businesses and I believe if a person takes the financial risk to start a business then he or she should reap the rewards when that business is successful. In the last 3 years I have traveled the Show Me State and trained over 1,700 small Missouri business owners.

I've also started the following businesses:
Automobile Dealer Training Association-Auto Dealer Ethics & Compliance Training-Since 2009
Missouri Dealer Seminars-Missouri Motor Vehicle Dealer Training-Since 2007
Vestol Motors-Small Automobile & Powersport Dealership-Since 2006

As your State Representative I will introduce innovative legislation that will build Missouri into our Nation's best state for small business and attract many of the 18,000 business owners searching Google each month for the best business state. The legislation I introduce will strengthen small business and create thousands of new Missouri jobs. To learn exactly how I will create these jobs, please click here .

Emergency Medical Technician-Andrew County Ambulance/Heartland Health

I loved "working the streets" of Andrew and Buchanan County as an Emergency Medical Technician. It was during my time as an Andrew County Ambulance employee that I had the opportunity to explore every back road of God's Country, (Andrew County). It also gave me the opportunity to meet many, many Northwest Missouri Seniors and helped me realize the importance of Medicare. I will fight any cuts to Medicare especially when those cuts are used to fund Federal mandated health insurance costs.

District 28 Republican Candidate for Missouri State Representative

For several years I have thought about making a run for District 28 State Representative. I truly love Missouri and I feel this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to give something back to the State. If given the opportunity to serve as your Missouri State Representative I will introduce innovative legislation that will build Missouri into the economic capitol of the United States and create countless jobs right here in Northwest Missouri. If you share my positive vision for the future of Missouri, I would like to ask you to please request the Republican ballot on August 3rd and select your first choice for District 28 State Representative.

Thank you very much, I would truly appreciate your support,

Delus Johnson
