Timothy Peter "Tim" Johnson (born December 28, 1946) is the senior United States Senator from South Dakota and a member of the Democratic Party. He was elected to a third term on November 4, 2008. He was the subject of national attention in December 2006 when his ill health raised the possibility that, were he to die, the Governor of South Dakota might appoint a Republican to fill his seat, thereby returning the Senate to Republican control after the November election had given the Democratic Party a slim majority. Johnson has since recovered.
