About Senator Johnston

Senator Mike Johnston represents the people of Senate District 33 (Denver). He lives in Stapleton with his wife Courtney, and their twin sons, Emmet and Seamus, who are 17 months old. He earned his undergraduate at Yale, his masters at Harvard and his Juris Degree at Yale.  Mike wrote a book, “In the Deep Heart’s Core,” describing the resilience and passion of his students in the Mississippi Delta. His book was widely acclaimed by national education and community leaders and continues to be taught in classrooms around the country.  He has dedicated his career to our kids’ education in and out of the classroom, and to enacting public policies that empower people who too often get overlooked. Senator Johnston also opened a new district public high school, MESA, in Mapleton.  Just three years later, MESA became the first district public high school in Colorado to get 100% of its seniors admitted to a 4 year college.
