Julie Johnson is the most experienced and effective legislator who will be ready to get to work in Congress on day one.
Julie has a record of bipartisan success, that’s why she is endorsed by the Dallas Morning News, police, fire, businesses, unions, teachers, leaders and activists alike:
  • Passed patient protection bill with bipartisan support.
  • Passed legislation to ensure that survivors of Dallas first responders who die in the line of duty have full access to benefits.
  • Passed a bill to ensure life-saving drugs for Texans aren’t held up by prior authorization requirements.
  • Helped maintain funding for Parkland Health System in Dallas

In Congress, Julie will work to put our values into action.

  • Reinstate reproductive rights and write Roe into law because abortion should be safe and legal.
  • Strengthen our gun laws by raising the age, voting for safe storage laws, and working to prevent individuals at risk of causing harm to others from possessing a firearm. That’s why she’s endorsed by Everytown for Gun Safety.
  • Defend our democracy and our elections, and stop the MAGA Republican agenda that’s pushing hate and divisiveness.
  • Reduce the cost of prescription drugs and protect and build upon the Affordable Care Act
  • Work to pass the National Equality Act
  • Lower housing costs through investments in affordable housing
  • Work with the Harris administration to create an Opportunity Economy that works for all, passing tax relief for middle-class Americans instead of billionaires like her opponent. By restoring two tax cuts designed to help middle-class and working Americans: the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit, more than 100 million Americans can will see immediate relief.
  • Julie Johnson will protect Social Security and Medicare against relentless attacks from her extreme opponent. She will strengthen Social Security and Medicare for the long haul by making the top 1% of earners pay their fair share in taxes. Julie will always fight for Texans to receive their earned benefits.
Let’s make history. If elected to Congress, Julie will be the first openly LGBTQ member of Congress from the South in U.S. history.
LGBTQ communities are under attack nationwide, and representation matters.
  • In 2018, Julie unseated the author of the now-infamous Texas Bathroom Bill as an out-lesbian and won by double digits. If elected, she will be the first openly gay member of Congress from the South!
  • Julie made history when she became the first same-sex marriage legislator in Texas and founded the Texas House LGBTQ Caucus.
Julie has fought for those who have been kicked aside and pushed around her entire career.
  • Last session, Texas Republicans tried to pass 77 anti-LGBTQ bills. Democrats were able to kill 76 of those bills. And during the 2023 legislative session, the House LGBTQ Caucus killed 141 out of 144 anti-LGBTQ bills.
  • In court, Julie stood up for the rights and dignity of the mentally disabled.
  • Julie helped students who were taken advantage of by for-profit universities.
District 32 is crucial to House Democrats' fight to defeat Republicans and win back the majority.
We must elect a Democrat Speaker to codify Roe, pass a National Equality Act, and protect our elections from foreign and domestic interference.
House Dems are aggressively targeting 31 GOP-held districts, and we need our best candidates up and down the ballot.
  • Julie is a team player with a longstanding record of supporting other candidates and causes.
  • Julie has never lost an election and always works to turn out Democratic voters up and down the ballot.
Julie Johnson has been a consistently effective ally, negotiator, and collaborator for diverse communities around Texas
  • Effective representation is about understanding, empathy, collaboration, and a commitment to social justice. While shared experiences and cultural backgrounds can enhance representation, it is the candidate’s dedication, inclusivity, and ability to connect with and advocate for diverse communities that truly determine their effectiveness in representing the interests of all
  • Julie has championed every religious and ethnic community in the extremely diverse State House district she has represented since 2018 and consistently elevates a diverse and experienced staff to work with her campaign and constituents.
  • Julie has earned the support of elected officials and leaders from every community; Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Asian, Latino, Black, Straight, and LGBTQ+ voters because she consistently meets people where they are, knocks more doors than anyone and empowers local leadership.
  • Julie Johnson is dedicated to promoting equitable policies, addressing systemic disparities, and creating opportunities to advance the well-being and progress of Latino communities. By leveraging her experience and influence, she can champion issues such as education, healthcare, economic opportunities, and immigration reform, which are vital to the Latino community.
