United States Senator
Born: 1946-12-28
Died: N/A
Timothy Peter Johnson (December 28, 1946 – October 8, 2024) was the senior United States Senator from South Dakota, and a member of the Democratic Party. He was the subject of national attention in December 2006 when his ill health raised the possibility that, were he to die, the South Dakota governor might appoint a Republican to fill his seat, thus returning the Senate to Republican control after elections which had given the Democratic Party a slim majority.
