The campaign of Dr. Bob Johnson for the 23rd NY District Seat in the US Congress received a boost this week when artist, writer, and actor Viggo Mortensen provided autographed merchandise to the campaign. The merchandise includes books and DVD's, and is available for purchase on the Viggo Mortensen portion of the Johnson for Congress web site.
Dr. Bob Johnson is a thoracic surgeon practicing in Watertown, NY. He is running against long-time incumbent Republican John McHugh for the congressional seat. Mr. Mortensen has starred in such films as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Hidalgo, and A History of Violence. Mr. Mortensen was raised in Watertown - part of the current 23rd congressional district, as is Cazenovia - and graduated from Watertown High School and from St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY.
