"His father was a firefighter who founded the nonprofit organization the Percy R. Johnson Burn Foundation, named after his partner Percy R. Johnson, the city's first African-American fire instructor and captain, who died in the line of duty.[11] Johnson's father was also critically burned and disabled in the line of duty during the same fire.[12]"

"Johnson's maternal grandfather, Nunzio Messina, was from Italy, and he has some French and Irish ancestry on his father's side of the family.[14]"

the guy's got some interesting stuff in his Wikipedia Bio.

'back in business' is a common idiomatic phrase meaning 'ready to hop to it' or 'starting to do our jobs again'

do you not speak English as a native speaker?

another claim from Wikipedia:

"Johnson is a young earth creationist and believes that the Earth was created approximately between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago.[75]

He is a writer for Answers in Genesis and has represented them in lawsuits.[74][75][76] In 2014, he supported government-provided tax breaks for their Ark Encounter theme park in Kentucky, saying:[75][76]

If his proposition were followed, the commonwealth [of Kentucky] would be legally liable for blatantly unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination. Phelps' preference - that religious groups should be denied equal access to tax incentive programs and also forced to hire people who openly disagree with their main beliefs - is not only unfair, it is clearly unlawful. "

another interesting claim from Wikipedia, and evidence of a caring soul:

"

"Many of my colleagues in this committee may not be aware, in addition to our four children at home, my wife and I have a much older son who happens to be African American," Johnson said. "We took custody of Michael and made him part of our family 22 years ago when we were just newlyweds and Michael just 14 and out on the streets and on a dangerous path."[79]

He is an evangelical Christian.[55]

His grand dad was last named Messina, and that makes me want to give him a chance . . .

the creationism thing isn't a show stopper either.

and he adopted a troubled youth, so that makes me like him a lot . . .
