ADDISON, TX – Today, Julie Johnson announced raising over $275,000 within just 24 hours of launching her campaign for Congress in Texas’ 32nd Congressional District. State Representative Julie Johnson surpassed expectations having just been released from the state fundraising moratorium on Monday. With only nine days left to raise campaign funds before the June 30th deadline, Johnson’s day one fundraising haul showcases her broad appeal and organizing prowess.
“I am so grateful for the immense support we’ve received from across our district and state,” said Julie Johnson. “This shows that our message of creating a stronger, more inclusive Texas that works for everyone is resonating with people. Just as I’ve done in the Texas House, I’m prepared to go to Washington and deliver real results on day one.”
In addition to her strong fundraising, Julie has already received the support of the Texas AFT chapter of the American Federation of Teachers, the Texas Hospital Association, Equality PAC, LPAC, the Human Rights Campaign, multiple members of the U.S. House, Texas House, and supporters across the district.
