Biography

The Hon. Victoria M. Johnson is a judge on the Dougherty County Superior Court in Georgia. She was elected to the bench in 2024, filling a vacancy created by the resignation of the Hon. Willie Lockette.

Prior to her election, Johnson sat as a magistrate for the Dougherty County Magistrate Court, a position to which she was named in 2018. Before that, she was an assistant district attorney with the Dougherty County District Attorney’s Office (2009 to 2018). During her tenure there, she held assignments as the project manager for the Domestic Violence Unit. She also prosecuted mental health and substance abuse matters and handled the competency docket.

Johnson earned a B.A. in English from the University of Florida in 1999. She later completed a J.D. at Florida A&M University College of Law in 2008. As a law student, she clerked at Salvagio, Johnson & Miller in Orlando (2007 to 2008) and interned with the 18th Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office in Sanford (2007).

After graduating from law school, Johnson began her legal career as an assistant state attorney with the 4th Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office in Jacksonville. She served in that capacity for a few months, at which time she relocated to Georgia

Her memberships have included the Dougherty Circuit Bar Association. She has also been involved with the Junior League of Albany, the Boys & Girls Club of Albany, the Easter Seals, the Rotary Club of Albany, and Leadership Albany, and she has served on the board of directors of the Liberty House Domestic Violence Shelter.

A resident of Albany, Georgia, Johnson and her husband, Aaron, have two children. Aaron is a professor at Albany State University. The family attends Mt. Zion Baptist Church. When not presiding over legal proceedings, Johnson sings with the Albany Civil Rights Museum Freedom Singers.
