Gloria Johnson in Survey of 2024 Senate campaign websites

On Abortion: Women should be trusted to make their own medical decisions

Tennesseans are fed up with corrupt, "do nothing" politicians, like Marsha Blackburn, who has taken millions from the pharmaceutical industry, the NRA and the insurance industry while voting against lowering drug costs, against gun reform, and for denying coverage for pre-existing conditions. Tennessee women deserve a Senator who trusts them to make their own medical decisions, unlike Blackburn who called the repeal of Roe v. Wade "a blessing" and has long supported a federal abortion ban. Source: 2024 Tennessee Senate campaign website VoteGloriaJohnson.com Sep 6, 2023

On Crime: FBI agent Dad investigated wickedness of Ku Klux Klan

Early on Gloria's family instilled in her the drive to put people first, no matter the cost. Growing up, Gloria remembers sleeping in the hallway of their family home, instead of her bedroom, to avoid gunshots from the KKK. The Klan terrorized her family because Gloria's Dad, an FBI Special Agent, had the courage to investigate their wickedness in the Deep South and bring members of the KKK to justice.

On Education: Fed up with pols attacking public school students & teachers

A special education teacher of 27 years, Gloria was fed up with elected officials attacking the rights of public school students and teachers. After the legislature took away a teacher's seat at the table, she decided to run for the Tennessee House in Knoxville in 2012--she won and has been fighting to hold extreme politicians and special interests accountable ever since.

On Gun Control: Demanded gun safety measures after mass school shooting

When a murderer stole the lives of three 9-year-olds and three adults in a mass school shooting in Tennessee, Gloria once again stood tall for victims of injustice. As a member of the "Tennessee Three" she demanded Republican politicians in Nashville stop with the BS and pass gun safety measures to prevent future shootings. For speaking truth to power, Republican leaders tried to kick her out of office. But Gloria survived the politically charged expulsion vote.
