From 1913 to 1921, Johnson served as California State Superintendent of Weights and Measures.[1] Elected as California state treasurer in 1923, he was the longest-serving state treasurer. Johnson was forced to resign on October 31, 1956, after stories, which were started by A. Ronald Button who assumed the position of Treasurer after Johnson, alleging that Johnson was funnelling state funds into personal loans; none of which was proving. He was a member of the California Republican Party.

Personal life

Johnson has three children: Virginia L. Johnson, Claire Fitzgerald, and George W. Johnson.[1] Johnston died on October 14, 1957, in Sacramento, California, at age 77.[1]
