Biography
[edit]Johnsen was born on 25 November 1968. He hails from Ringsaker, and was elected member of the county council of Hedmark from 1999 to 2015.[1]
He was elected to the Parliament of Norway from Hedmark in 2013 where he is member of the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Affairs.[2] Johnsen has sat on the municipal council in Ringsaker, Hamar and Stange.[3]
Johnsen considers himself bothered by electromagnetic hypersensitivity.[4]
In 2015, Johnsen was recommended by the Police Security Service to cut off contact with Russian diplomats whom PST considered to be Russian intelligence agents. Johnsen stated that he did not intend to follow the call from PST.[5]
