Josh Johnson made it official Wednesday morning. He’s now in the running for the Republican nomination for the 17th District House seat, hoping to succeed Delegate Will Fralin (R). Fralin is stepping down to handle more business responsibilities.

10 On Your Side was the first to report Johnson would run last week.

Johnson chose the Roanoke Regional Airport to make his formal campaign announcement, calling it a symbol of the regional solutions he hopes to bring to the 17th District.

“We need to focus on having a sound economic infrastructure and of course a part of that is going be transportation and education and we also have to have an environment where we support jobs where we also work regionally, this is a regional seat,“ Johnson said.
