Sen. Tim Johnson was born at Canton today in 1946. He attended the University of South Dakota before his election to the state legislature in 1978. Johnson became the state's lone Congressman in 1986 and served in the House until his election to the Senate in 1996. In December 2006 Johnson's political future became uncertain when he suffered a brain hemorrhage. He resumed his duties in June 2007 and was re-elected in 2008, but opted not to run again in 2014.
