Judge Donte Johnson

Thank you, Hamilton County! 🗳️ Even with the rain, the energy at the polls was unmatched. We showed up, we spoke out, and we secured the first step of this journey.

But in the words of the late, great Kobe Bryant: “Job’s not finished.” 🐍 We’ve set the tone, but the real work starts now. Thank you for your votes, your time, and your belief in this campaign. On to November WE go!

Milestone Alert: 300 Weddings! 🥂✨

Today was incredibly special as I had the honor of officiating my 300th wedding. Congratulations to Kevin and Sherydan. It was a privilege to witness the start of your journey together. I’ve seen a lot of love over the years, but hitting number 300 feels truly surreal. Cheers to a lifetime of happiness for the new Mr. and Mrs.!

P.S. They came for business with those Carolina Blue Jordan 11s! 🔥

Reflecting on our Spring Kickoff from two weeks ago. It was such a successful start to the season, and we are still feeling the energy from that day. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, with a special note of gratitude to Joe and Mary Suhre for hosting us in their wonderful office. Their hospitality made the perfect backdrop for a great afternoon!

Happy Opening Day 2026!

As a proud HBCU graduate of Howard University, I truly enjoyed attending the Central State University Alumni Scholarship Brunch. Inspiring to see alumni investing in the next generation of leaders.

Even ran into the Champ, Tony Tubbs!

For God, For Central, For State.

Honored to be back at my alma mater sharing my experiences and pouring into the next generation. Inspiring young people and helping them see their potential is one of my greatest passions. When we invest in young people, we invest in a stronger future for our entire community!

Despite poor weather, our campaign launch was an overwhelming success! Thank you to everyone who came out, donated, and sent well wishes. Your support means everything.

The biggest thank you goes to my incredible team for their hard work and dedication in making the night such a success.

I am excited to announce my candidacy for the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas in the 2026 election!

I am running to fill the seat of retiring Judge Melba Marsh. As the longest-serving African American judge in our county’s history, Judge Marsh has set a standard of excellence and fairness that is second to none. My mission is to honor her extraordinary legacy and ensure that her seat remains in capable, dedicated hands.

I invite you to join me on this journey as we work toward a future of justice and integrity for all of Hamilton County. Thank you for your continued support!
