Biography

Congresswoman Julie Johnson comes to Washington from the Texas House of Representatives where she served three terms since 2018. In March of 2024, Johnson won her 10-way primary election without a runoff to become the Democratic nominee for Texas Congressional District 32 and was elected to represent District 32 on November 5th, 2024, with over 60% of the vote.

She’s a defender of justice and fights for those among us who need it most. As a Texas-educated attorney (Hook’Em), Julie fought her way into the courtroom during a time when women weren’t being hired to litigate cases. She has defended workers, stood up for the mentally disabled, helped students who were taken advantage of by for-profit universities, and fought for equality for female athletes.

As a legislator, Julie Johnson has earned a reputation for going toe to toe with the crooked and powerful. Last session, she helped kill 76 of 77 anti-LGBTQ bills. She authored the historic Live Well Texas bill, which would have expanded Medicaid in Texas, gaining bipartisan support from 9 Republican Co-Sponsors, and as Vice-Chair of the Women’s Health Caucus fights on the front lines for reproductive rights.

In Congress, Johnson serves on the Homeland Security and Foreign Policy committees.
