Campaign website

Johnson’s campaign website stated the following:

“

Gloria is running for U.S. Senate because she knows it is time to shift power back where it belongs: with working and middle class families. She will be a Senator who puts Tennesseans first:

  • Protect abortion rights across the country and make sure that women can access birth control and fertility treatments like IVF.
  • Fight for bipartisan, commonsense gun safety laws that keep guns out of the hands of people who are a risk to others and themselves.
  • Work to lower rising costs of housing, groceries, and education.
  • Expand quality, affordable health care in our rural areas and fight to lower drug costs.
  • Increase funding for our public schools and invest in our teachers and students. [11]

Healthcare

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Tennessee

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

Resolutions to expel representatives

See also: Elected officials expelled from state legislatures

On Monday, April 3, 2023, Rep. Bud Hulsey (R), Rep. Gino Bulso (R), and Rep. Andrew Farmer (R) introduced three resolutions to expel Rep. Gloria Johnson (D), Rep. Justin Jones (D), and Rep. Justin Pearson (D) from the Tennessee House of Representatives. The resolutions stated that Johnson, Jones, and Pearson had engaged in “disorderly behavior” and “did knowingly and intentionally bring disorder and dishonor to the House of Representatives” after they participated in protests on March 30, 2023 in support of gun control laws.[14]

On April 6, 2023, the Tennessee House of Representatives voted 72-25 and 69-26 on House resolutions 65 and 63 to expel Representatives Justin Jones (Tennessee state representative) (D) and Justin Pearson (D). House resolution 64 to expel Rep. Gloria Johnson (D) failed to pass at 65 ayes and 30 nays.

On April 10, 2023, the Metropolitan Nashville Council voted 36-0 to reinstate Jones. On April 12, the Shelby County Commission will voted to reinstate Pearson.[15][16][17]
