For over three decades, I’ve fought to protect the rights, benefits, and pensions of public employees like you. I know firsthand the difference a secure pension makes for working families—that’s why I’m running to ensure CalPERS remains strong for current and future retirees. On the Board, I will defend our pensions from attacks, strengthen investments, and fight for affordable retiree healthcare.

<h2>Hi, I'm Troy Johnson.</h2><img src="https://run.imgix.net/905517dc-cf95-4019-b577-e8eb4e80e0c2/d21b607c-38e9-44ce-9e5e-29c33ecebd95/f5495149-e93d-44bb-aa52-8cedcfaf2c0b.webp?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C4092%2C4096&amp;w=1500" alt="Troy Johnson for Calpers Board" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="47.5" tiltdirection="right" variant="framed">I’m running for the CalPERS Board of Administration because I believe every public employee deserves to retire with dignity, security, and the benefits they’ve worked so hard to earn.For 33 years, I've been a classified school employee and union leader, fighting for fair wages, strong benefits, and retirement security. As a leader in the California School Employees Association (CSEA), I've served as Chapter President, Regional Representative, and State Director. I've always put employees first, and I'm pound to currently serve on CSEA's Board of Directors, representing 25,000 school employees in San Diego and Imperial Counties.As an experienced fiduciary with certificates from the Harvard School of Business and the American Management Association, I help guide CSEA's strategic investments and protect the union's pension plan through my role on the CSEA Investments Committee, which is currently 100% funded. I also serve on the Dorothy Bjork Assistance Fund Committee, leading CSEA's philanthropic efforts to support members facing financial hardship.<h3>My passion for protecting pensions is deeply personal.</h3>When my father suffered a career-ending injury without a pension or savings, I saw firsthand the financial struggles that followed. In contrast, my mother—a CalPERS member—was able to retire with dignity and stability. That experience drives my commitment to defending the pensions we’ve earned as public employees.As your representative on the CalPERS Board, I will bring respect, reason, and responsibility to the CalPERS Board. I will fight to protect our pensions from attacks, strengthen the fund’s investments, and fight for affordable retiree healthcare—so every public employee can retire with the security they deserve.A graduate of San Diego State University with a degree in Psychology, I currently work as a Senior Administrative Assistant with Sweetwater Union High School District in Chula Vista. Outside of work, I enjoy hockey, traveling, Disneyland, and exploring new restaurants with friends and family.I would be honored to earn your support and represent you on the CalPERS Board. Together, we can ensure a strong, secure future for all public employees.

<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites. Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page. Some common options for donation processing include:<ul><li><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ActBlue</a></li><li><a href="https://www.campaigndeputy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Campaign Deputy</a> </li><li><a href="https://goodchange.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GoodChange</a></li><li><a href="https://numero.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Numero</a></li></ul>

Contain The Cost Of Healthcare

CalPERS members deserve clear, open decision-making. I will bring responsible leadership to the Board, ensuring financial transparency, ethical governance, and strong oversight to protect the retirement security of all members.

I will prioritize investment strategies that grow our pension fund while minimizing unnecessary risk. CalPERS must remain financially strong by making data-driven decisions that ensure long-term stability and protect the retirement security of all members.

Smart & Responsible Investments

Our pensions are a promise, and I will fight to ensure they remain secure for all public employees and retirees. I will stand against any efforts to weaken our retirement benefits and make sound investment decisions that strengthen CalPERS for the long term.
