Johnson campaign expected close race

State Sen. Mike Johnson, father of Corporation Commission candidate Rob Johnson, and Keili Hicks, Rob Johnson’s campaign manager, both said they were expecting a close primary election, and that’s exactly what they were getting tonight.

Hicks figured they started the race behind because Dana Murphy had name recognition for having run a commission race before and was well known at the Corporation Commission because she had worked there.

“The whole time we just thought it was going to be extremely close,” Mike Johnson said.
