One simple question MI-01 candidate Lon Johnson should answer

January 13, 2016

Does anyone know where MI-01 congressional candidate Lon Johnson actually lives?  Johnson says he lives in Kalkaska, but it’s hard to be sure since he’s lived in 11 different places since 2000.  Prior to Kalkaska, Johnson lived in Chicago with his wife, Juliana Smoot, who was Barack Obama’s deputy campaign manager.  According to FEC disbursement forms, Smoot’s address in Chicago is Atwater Luxury Apartments, located at 355 E. Ohio Street (pictured below).

But now that Johnson is running for Congress, the Smoot-Johnson’s supposedly live at 6261 E. Bass Lake Road NE, Kalkaska, MI 49646 (pictured below).  (Click HERE for a crash course on why this is the Smoot-Johnson’s primary address.)

So here is a very simple question that Lon Johnson should answer:  Is this really where he and his wife live a majority of the time, or are they just claiming this as their primary address so Johnson can pretend to be from Northern Michigan where he is running for Congress

NRCC Comment:  “Lon Johnson has moved 11 times in 15 years so it is fair to ask if he and his wife truly live in Michigan’s 1st District or if they are lying to voters.  Lon Johnson should be open and transparent with the people of Northern Michigan if he truly wants to be their liberal pro-choice voice in Congress.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
