Whereas, the members of

Angeles, California, on July 4, 1985, he is the son of Joe and Cynthia Johnson. 
A Clyburn Fellow, he earned a bachelor's degree from the College of Charleston 
in 2008, a master's degree from Strayer University in 2014, and a doctorate in 
business management from Northcentral University in 2018; and

Whereas, he married his 
beloved wife, Dr. Evan P. Johnson, in 2012, and together they are rearing three 
fine children: Jermaine Jr., Khloe, and Kobe. When away from his duties in the 
House of Representatives, he lives with his family in Hopkins, serves as an adjunct 
professor at Webster University, and is the owner of DT Consulting Firm LLC; 
and

Whereas, a faithful 
member of St. John Baptist Church in Hopkins, Representative Johnson is a 
member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., and of Capital City Masonic Lodge 
#47; and

Whereas, deeply 
involved in his community, he served on the Richland County Recreation Commission 
from 2016 to 2020 and is a member of the Lower Richland Branch of the NAACP; 
and

Whereas, Representative 
Johnson served his party with distinction as third vice chair of the Richland 
County Democratic Party from 2018 to 2020, and he is a member of the Young 
Democrats of South Carolina; and

Whereas, he has 
faithfully served the citizens of District 52 in Richland and Kershaw counties 
in the House of Representatives since 2021, most recently during that time he 
served on the Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee; and 

Whereas, in all of his 
service, he has provided thoughtful insight to his colleagues and genuine 
concern for his constituents; and

Whereas, the members of 
the House of Representatives will miss the keen and impassioned service that Jermaine 
Johnson, our friend and colleague, has given to the House of Representatives, 
and hope that he will enjoy deep fulfillment in the years to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, recognize and commend the Honorable Jermaine L. Johnson Sr. 
of Richland County for his dedicated service in the House of Representatives on 
behalf of his constituents and the citizens of South Carolina and wish him much 
success and happiness in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Honorable Jermaine L. Johnson 
Sr.
