He rose from the back bench to Speaker of the House in a single afternoon - a lawyer from Shreveport with no leadership post higher than caucus chair, thrust forward after Kevin McCarthy's ouster left the chamber in chaos and the obvious names had burned out.

About this person

Johnson graduated from LSU's law school and spent years as an attorney, including work for the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian legal group, while sitting on the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission from 2004 to 2012. He entered politics in 2015 with a Louisiana statehouse seat, then won Louisiana's 4th congressional district in 2016. In Congress he became a social conservative anchor - contesting the 2020 election results in court and on the floor, backing nationwide abortion bans, chairing the Republican Study Committee from 2019 to 2021. On October 25, 2023, after McCarthy's removal left the speaker's chair empty and the conference fractured, Johnson was elected the 56th speaker, the first from Louisiana. He held the gavel narrowly into 2025.
