ABOUT JUDGE KELLI JOHNSON

Judge Kelli Johnson grew up in the small town of Sulphur Springs, Texas where public service became a way of life at an early age. Volunteering alongside her parents and fellow church members was an integral part of her upbringing. She developed a strong sense of empathy from helping children battling terminal cancer, working with elderly patients in nursing homes, and cooking Thanksgiving meals for people who otherwise wouldn’t have had one. Today, she is an active volunteer as a Star Court Judge, an active member of her community, and committee chair of three committees.

Throughout public school, she excelled academically and graduated in the top 5 of her high school. With 17 years as a prosecutor in the District Attorney’s Office, she is highly respected on both sides of the aisle. Judge Johnson’s beautiful family includes her partner Hilary and their handsome 9-year old son Evan. She proudly represents the LGBTQ community in her candidacy.

Judge Johnson is a proud TCU Horned Frog who graduated with honors. Her lifelong compassion fighting for the little guy made for a natural transition into the courtroom where ensuring fairness and equality remain her guiding principles.
