Testimonials

Grassroots supporters throughout the district have this to say:

“Thirty percent of the original signers of the United States Constitution were farmers. Today, there is only 1 farmer working in production agriculture in the Assembly, Heather Hadwick from District 1. I am supporting Jamie Johansson, a farmer, who In his 12-year tenure at California Farm Bureau, was elected to the executive board of the American Farm Bureau. He represented farmers from California and the west and worked in alignment with Doug LaMalfa, and colleagues in the 13 western states on agricultural issues. Jamie’s reputation and his relationships span throughout the state of California, the West and into Washington D.C. Our community and the California assembly would benefit from Jamie’s local, statewide and national advocacy experience.”

"Jamie Johansson knows this district and he’s ready to govern from day one. After Prop 50 and the tragic passing of Doug LaMalfa, our district needs to elect a proven leader who knows how things work in Sacramento, and the rest of California."

“Jamie Johansson has been fighting for us for the last 20 years, it is our turn to fight for Jamie.”

“Jamie Johansson has been instrumental in protecting Butte County’s water resources and ensuring farmers have a seat at the table in critical water discussions for more than two decades. From his knowledge and work on the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) to his leadership in the formation of the Tuscan Water District, Jamie has fought tirelessly to preserve and protect our water rights and the future of agriculture throughout the state. He is by far the best and most qualified candidate to represent us in this race for Assembly District 3.”

“Jamie is approachable and relatable, he’s a farmer, he is a Christian. He is extremely knowledgeable about policy and on top of his experience, he genuinely reflects the values of the district. Every issue we care about from water, wildfire prevention, to public safety requires someone who knows how to move policy, build coalitions, and get results.

“After 20 years of working with Jamie Johansson, I can say his leadership is defined by action. Jamie is a small business owner and farmer who understands the North State. He stood up to Newsom to protect our water, he worked with Trump to save small farms, and he will vote for the largest middle-class tax cut in California history. His support for veterans has always been genuine and meaningful. I’m endorsing Jamie because I know he’ll fight for our North State values in Sacramento.”

“I’ve worked with Jamie Johansson for years; we both served on the Oroville City Council and on the Oroville Chamber Board. I am one of his biggest supporters because he delivers. Jamie leads with integrity, listens carefully, and never loses sight of who he’s serving. He lives his values and he is the kind of leader our communities need in the Assembly.”

“I’m proud to support Jamie Johansson for California Assembly. Jamie understands that agriculture isn’t just an industry, it’s a way of life. He has spent years working alongside farmers and ranchers, listening and fighting for practical solutions that protect our rural communities.”

“Jamie has spent years of working on these issues alongside farmers, ranchers, and local leaders. Experience isn’t something you inherit, it’s something you earn by listening, showing up, and doing the work.”

“When I served as Oroville Police Chief, Jamie Johansson was on the City Council and consistently stood with law enforcement. He voted to increase police salaries, supported our officers, and backed policies that were tough on drugs and tough on crime. Jamie understood that public safety starts with supporting the men and women who protect our community.”

“I’ve known Jamie Johansson for many years, both personally and through my work in law enforcement. After a career working alongside District Attorney Mike Ramsey and with the Butte Interagency Narcotics Task Force, I know how important it is to recognize leaders who truly care about protecting children. Jamie’s a Christian, a Boy Scout leader, a former coach, and someone who demonstrates by his actions that he cares for the youth in our community.”

“He’s not afraid to roll up his sleeves and get to work, and that’s exactly who we need representing us in Sacramento.”

“Jamie Johansson is a man of integrity, grounded in family and faith.”

“Jamie stands with law enforcement and first responders. He has the experience and the backbone to fight for the resources our communities need to stay safe."

“Mr. Johansson, I believe, fundamentally understands the critical intersection between the necessity of preserving our agricultural heritage and its economic importance and the unstoppable pressure for urban growth. We will benefit greatly from a leader who actively supports reasonable and effective long-range planning of our communities. My experience tells me that it’s far more important to lose an argument today to secure a victory tomorrow. It is my observation that Mr. Johansson will exhibit such prudence to the benefit of our community.”

“Jamie has been a champion for California farmers, advocating for policies that protect our water, land, and ability to operate. He has the knowledge and experience to fight the regulatory regime in Sacramento.”

“Jamie doesn’t just talk about supporting agriculture, he lives it,” Mendoza said. “His experience as a farmer, president of the California Farm Bureau and business owner gives him firsthand knowledge of the challenges we face. He will fight for policies that protect our water, strengthen our farms, and keep our rural economy strong.”

“Jamie Johansson has been a champion for agriculture, small businesses, and our rural communities starting back when he began farming in the 1990s through his 14-year run in leadership at the California Farm Bureau. He understands the importance of water security, regulatory reform, and ensuring our farmers have the resources they need to thrive. Jamie is exactly the kind of leader we need in the Assembly to stand up for our way of life.”

“Jamie has long demonstrated his commitment to Oroville and has represented rural California and family farms during his 12 years at California Farm Bureau. His leadership, experience, and relationships make him the right choice for Assembly.”
