Jennifer Johnson is a Canadian politician from the United Conservative Party. She was elected member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta for Lacombe-Ponoka in the 2023 Alberta general election.[1]
In 2023 Johnson defeated Lacombe City Councilor Chris Ross and paramedic Dusty Myshrall to win the UCP nomination in Lacombe-Ponoka.[2]
Speaking at an event on September 1, 2022, Johnson was accused of comparing transgender children to feces in food.[3] After a viral video emerged in September 2024, Johnson was cleared, revealing she never made the comparison.[4] She was welcomed back into the UCP caucus in October 2024, with Smith describing her as an "excellent representative."
