Council Member Johnson is currently a member of the following City Council Committees:
  • Appointments & Council Policies

Following college, Victoria served Burleson and Johnson County as a Congressional aide. As a Field Representative, she worked directly with the citizens; meeting with constituents, serving as a liaison to the federal government and partnering with local officials to address community needs.  
Projects in this role:
  • Easing traffic with the expansion of East Renfro
  • Addressing health needs of our underserved community with the purchase of a new Mobile Health Bus for Huguley Hospital 
 While employed with the City of Burleson:

As Director of Communications for the Burleson Independent School District, Victoria was responsible for promoting and enhancing communication with parents, students, staff and the community at-large.  She assisted in developing a new, user-friendly website and grew the district's social media presence.  She believes the best part of her job was sharing the successes of the district: classes and clubs winning competitions; student awards, scholarships and signing days; staff achieving new certifications and degrees and so much more.
 

After many years as a Meals on Wheels volunteer, Victoria served as Director of Community Engagement before making the decision to stay home to focus on family. Serving our senior population is of the utmost importance to Victoria.
