George William Johnson (politician)
- George William Johnson (politician)
George William Johnson (July 10, 1892 in Stratford, Ontario – April 26, 1973) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1959 to 1962, representing the Winnipeg riding of Assiniboia for the Progressive Conservative Party. He is not to be confused with another George Johnson, who also served as a Progressive Conservative cabinet minister during the same time period.
Johnson was educated in Stratford. He first campaigned for the Manitoba legislature in the 1958 provincial election, but lost to CCF incumbent Donovan Swailes by 131 votes in Assiniboia. He ran again in the 1959 election and defeated Swailes by 217 votes, as the Progressive Conservatives won a majority government under Dufferin Roblin.
Johnson was a backbench supporter of Roblin's government during his time in the legislature. He lost to Liberal Stephen Patrick by 239 votes in the 1962 provincial election.
