[constituency_baseline] District summary: South Dakota's at-large congressional district encompasses the entire state—the fourth-largest congressional district by area in the nation. With 907,428 residents, it is predominantly rural and overwhelmingly White (79.8% non-Hispanic White), with a significant Native American population (8.5% American Indian/Alaska Native). The median household income of $75,081 sits below the national average, while the poverty rate stands at 11.9%. Major employers include Sanford Health (47,000+ employees system-wide), Avera Health (20,000+), and Ellsworth Air Force Base. The economy is anchored by healthcare, agriculture, tourism (Mount Rushmore, Badlands), and financial services. The district votes reliably Republican—Trump won it with 63% in 2024.

Voted nay on H.Res.246 (Resolution condemning President Trump's racist comments directed at members of Congress) on 2019-07-16: Johnson was one of only four House Republicans who previously voted against efforts to condemn Trump, but later positioned himself as a Trump ally—endorsed by Trump in 2020 and serving as his campaign chair. This early vote demonstrates the evolution of his relationship with Trump and his willingness to resist party orthodoxy before aligning more closely with the former president.

Voted yea on S. 3522 (Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022) on 2022-04-28: Johnson was among Republicans who voted to expedite military aid to Ukraine via a World War II-era lend-lease framework, earning an 'A' grade from Republicans for Ukraine. This vote placed him in the internationalist wing of his party, distinct from the growing isolationist bloc that opposed Ukraine aid.

Voted yea on H.R. 6090 (Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023) on 2024-05-01: Johnson voted yes on a bill codifying the IHRA definition of antisemitism that 70 Democrats and 21 Republicans opposed over free speech concerns. The vote aligned with his consistent pro-Israel record but placed him at odds with a substantial bloc of lawmakers concerned about conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism.

Voted yea on H.R. 7147 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Trump tax-and-spending reconciliation package)) on 2025-05-22: Johnson voted for the 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' a $3.4 trillion reconciliation package that the nonpartisan budget analysis estimated would add trillions to the deficit. The bill included $1.1 billion in cuts to public broadcasting, costing South Dakota Public Broadcasting 23% of its budget. The bill passed 215-214, making his vote pivotal. His support contrasted with his prior rhetoric about unsustainable spending.

Voted yea on H.R. 7511 (Laken Riley Act (mandatory ICE detention for certain non-citizens)) on 2024-03-07: Johnson voted with all Republicans and 37 Democrats for this immigration enforcement bill. While South Dakota has a relatively small immigrant population, the bill's mandatory detention provisions for theft-related charges raised concerns among civil liberties advocates about due process and the cost to federal detention systems—relevant to his fiscally conservative platform.

His district has an 11.9% poverty rate and South Dakota receives nearly half its state revenue from federal funding. The resolution passed 217-215.

Voted yea on H.R. 6126 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 (Israel-only aid bill offset by IRS funding cuts)) on 2023-11-02: Johnson voted for a GOP-crafted $14.3 billion Israel aid package that offset spending by cutting IRS enforcement funding—a provision the CBO estimated would increase the deficit by $12 billion. The White House issued a veto threat, and the bill had no path in the Senate. Johnson's vote aligned with pro-Israel donors but raised questions about fiscal priorities given his stated commitment to deficit reduction.

Voted nay on H.R. 3684 (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Bipartisan Infrastructure Law)) on 2021-11-05: Johnson voted against the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill even though South Dakota received $2.5 billion from it for roads, bridges, water systems, and broadband—infrastructure critical to his rural, geographically vast at-large district. The bill provided $152.5 million that completed the Lewis and Clark Regional Water System serving 350,000 constituents. Johnson later celebrated this project's completion.
