Janet Johns, 2nd Vice President, Membership
Janet is proud wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, and Republican. She was an Arizona educator for 26 years. Her area of expertise was working with at-risk young adults giving them a second chance at earning a high school diploma.
Janet participated in the Dodie Londen Excellence in Public Service program which ignited a passion in her to educate and engage men and women in their 30’s and 40’s in politics. These adults need to be more aware of what is going on to be able to stand up for their freedom and Bill of Rights as American citizens because these fundamental principles of democracy are in serious jeopardy. In her spare time, she spends time with her grandchildren, serves in her church, hikes in the beautiful Arizona desert, and watches Hallmark movies.
