Dear Editor:

Senator Chris Johnson excels at his job of representing and working for his constituents.

One of the many reasons for his strong performance is his accessibility to the citizens his represents. He holds open office hours one Saturday a month year-round at three different locations in his district, making himself regularly available to anyone who has a concern. At the many community events I've seen him attend, he doesn't just make an appearance, he participates, listens, asks questions, and he has time for every person who needs to talk to him. I know. I've brought issues to him both during office hours and at various events. Then he works diligently on solutions to their concerns, just as he did with mine.

I'm impressed by the level of his involvement in all the communities in his district, the depth of his knowledge on a large number of issues, the intelligence of his solutions, and how he truly embodies the role of 'public servant'. We would all do well to keep him on the job.
