Republican Rep. Bill Johnson of Ohio announced Tuesday he will not seek reelection in 2024 after accepting an offer to become Youngstown State University’s new president.
Johnson, who was first elected to represent The Buckeye State’s 6th District in 2010, said in a statement he will continue serving in the House “for several more months” and that the decision to leave was “extremely difficult.”
The website Mahoning Matters reported Johnson would be paid $410,000 annually and needs to start by March 15. Members of the House are paid $174,000.
