Chris Johnston

Chris Johnston, the Woodbury attorney who is mulling a primary challenge against Michele Bachmann, has run one previous campaign. In 2002 he challenged state Sen. Dick Cohen (pictured), a St. Paul Democrat who’s been in office since 1976. The result: Johnston got 26.4 percent of the vote.

Woodbury attorney Chris Johnston says he is “mulling a run” against Rep. Michele Bachmann in the next Republican primary. Johnston says the district needs to be represented by a Republican “who thinks before they speak.”
