Matt Johnson Files for County Council District 1

Local Sources - Matt Johnson of Jasper has filed for County Council District 1 in the Democrat Primary election in May. 

“Dubois County needs a new voice for the future of the county,” stated Johnson. “I am running for this office to make sure my neighbors and the rest of District 1 have a say in how our tax dollars are used. I believe we need to focus on housing, environment, and adequate funding of our county services.” 

Johnson is owner of Focused Fitness, a personal training facility, located on the west side of Jasper. Matt went into his own business in 2021 after 20 years of personal training with a local gym and was voted “Best Personal Trainer in Dubois County” in 2021. 

Matt is married to Michelle, a teacher at Jasper Middle School, and they have three children. 

“County Council persons have a great responsibility to the public, and I will approach this council seat knowing the importance of the position and the service to the voters,” said Johnson. “I am looking forward to meeting the voters and campaigning. I ask to have your vote in May and November.”
