Bishop, Jr. (GA-02) released a statement on the passing of former Georgia State Senator Leroy Johnson: I am very sorry to hear that my longtime mentor and friend, Senator Leroy Johnson, passed away. Senator Johnson was an inspiration to me as a high school student who motivated me to emulate his path to public service. Morehouse College, law school, and elected office demonstrated how a life and career could be used to make a community, state, and nation better. He did so much for so many for so long and the world is better because he passed this way. I extend my sincere condolences to his family and all those who mourn the loss of this great trailblazer. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
