Lester Johnson (politician)

Lester Roland Johnson (June 16, 1901 – July 24, 1975) was a U.S. Representative from Wisconsin.

[1] Johnson was born in Brandon, Wisconsin, the son of the politician John E.

He entered the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1938 and graduated in February 1941.

He was not a candidate for reelection in 1964 to the Eighty-ninth Congress because 1964 redistricting moved his 9th district from Western Wisconsin to the Milwaukee suburbs.

Had he run, Johnson would have faced Congressman Vernon Thomson in the newly configured 3rd district.
