Johnson thanked Walberg for the experience and helping bring attention to the community he calls home.  

“Congressman Walberg only recently began representing our community but has been visible across our community and has already proven himself to be a strong partner to us in Congress and I thank him for the opportunity to attend and share Cassopolis’s story,” Johnson said. “Cassopolis is proving that there is a strong future for small towns across America and the development of a strong business infrastructure is key. Since my swearing-in, communication, collaboration and economic development have been my main priorities and I am eager to continue to develop our business infrastructure. I’m honored to have the opportunity to amplify our successes on a national stage.”
