​Jake Johansson is running for Florida State Senate District 8, representing most of Volusia County and the northern portion of Brevard. With a lifetime dedicated to service, Jake is a leader who listens, collaborates, and takes action to address the challenges facing our communities.

After an impressive 35-year career in the U.S. Navy, retiring as a Navy Captain, Jake transitioned his leadership skills to local government as Port Orange City Manager. It was there he fell in love with the community and committed himself to helping it thrive. As Volusia County's At-Large Council Member, Jake worked to attract better jobs, enhance quality of life, and build a brighter future for all.

​

Jake's commitment goes beyond his role as a leader—he's a trusted neighbor, an active problem solver, and a passionate advocate for the voices of District 8. As a leadership consultant and a dedicated member of various boards and committees, Jake has worked tirelessly to strengthen our community. He champions public health and safety, supports conservative, lean, and responsive government, and has fought for higher-paying jobs, greater transparency, and environmental stewardship. Jake is here to make a difference for every resident in District 8.

Jake and I got to know each other while working in the Office of the Vice President. The military aide to the Vice President is a very unique job that requires someone to immediately adjust to any issue/crisis that is happening that minute, hour, or day and also what is over the horizon. Jake was able to observe, gather the facts and make the right decision.
Jake would be an asset to any organization immediately.
