Adam Johnson Pelosi podium lectern January 6.

Adam Johnson, known for grabbing Nancy Pelosi’s podium during the Capitol riot, is running for a county office in Florida. He filed to run as a Republican for the Manatee County Commission on the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot. Johnson says the timing was intentional to generate buzz. He pleaded guilty to entering a restricted building during the riot and served 75 days in prison. Johnson claims he regrets the action only because of the sentence. He says he’s running because of high property taxes and overdevelopment, claiming current county administrators are wasteful.
