Donatella Johnson Named a Business Woman of the Year Finalist

Donatella Johnson was recognized by the San Diego Business Journal as a finalist for Business Woman of the Year for her work with SafeBallot. The honor acknowledged her role as a founder, marketer, and young business leader helping shape the company's public identity and growth.

The recognition arrived during a period when both Donatella and her husband, Elijah, were being featured for their professional achievements. Donatella reflected on the value of sharing those milestones with a partner who understands the late nights, faith, risk, resilience, and behind-the-scenes sacrifices required to build a company.

Her finalist selection underscores the leadership partnership at the center of SafeBallot and the growing visibility of the company's mission to create more secure, accessible, and trusted voting experiences.
