Phil Stacker (Johnsonverse)

Phillip James Stacker (b. June 27, 1954) is the current Lieutenant Governor of California. Before taking this role, Stacker was President and CEO of Stacker and Associates from 1972 to 1991, and 1993 to 2010. He was also the CEO of Johnson Industries from 1981 to 1991, ran for President in 2000, 2004, and 2008, and wrote his memoir UnSTACKed in 2002, along with an account of his speculation on Russian meddling in the 2016 election, Donaldgate, in 2018. 2020 Presidential candidate Sheldon Johnson, Jr. has confirmed that Stacker will be his Secretary of State if he gets elected.
