Greetings fellow Young Republicans!
Damian Johnston is running for for Valley City School Board.
Damian Johnston is a 19-year-old high school graduate who currently works as a John Deere diesel mechanic and serves on the Valley City volunteer fire department. Damian grew up in a politically active family and has volunteered on numerous successful campaigns throughout his life, including those of Cramer for Senate and Armstrong for Congress. Damian has also served as the Southeast Region Chairman of the North Dakota Young Republicans for the last year and a half. In 2020, he received the NDYR “Top Door Knocker” award for his work during the Young Republicans deployment on the successful Michelle Fishbach Campaign for Minnesota District 7 (western MN region), ousting a 30-year Democrat incumbent.
Damian’s commitment to his community has compelled him to run for an open position on the Valley City School Board. He views the public education system in North Dakota as a failure that is not living up to the expectations of the parents. From poor test scores to COVID tyranny, Damian believes there is a lot of work to be done to get our school system back to where it once was. “Parents have a vested interest in their child’s education”, Damian said, “we need to ensure they have access to what their child is taught.”
Damian believes that the best school board member is one who is easily accessible, and available to invest time into the position. His track record with NDYR attests to this, as he has stepped up to the plate many times during his 4+ year involvement in the organization.
We believe that Damian is the candidate for the job, and are happy to support him for this position.

Until next time,
- Your NDYR Leadership Team
