Meet Julie Johnson
Congresswoman Julie Johnson has built a record of governing with principle and purpose. She came to Congress after three terms in the Texas state house where she was known for passing bills related to healthcare and insurance reform. In Congress, she continues the fight to protect affordable health care, has introduced legislation to help Texans buy homes, defended reproductive freedom, and stood up for immigrant communities by challenging ICE misconduct and demanding real accountability. She as elected to Congress in 2024, and is the first openly LGBTQ person elected to federal office from Texas and the South and the first women to represent her district in Congress.
In 2025, under Donald Trump’s direction, Texas Republicans redrew the congressional map to pack Democrats into fewer districts and deliberately strip North Texas communities of real representation. When that happened, Julie Johnson fought back, working with allies from the Texas Legislature to draw national attention to the desperate rigging of Texas maps. She did not abandon her constituents or go searching for the next political opportunity. She stayed rooted in the communities she has represented since her first election to the Texas House and is running for re-election in Texas’ new 33rd Congressional District to continue that work.
Julie Johnson does not chase viral moments. She shows up, does the work, and treats public service as exactly that: service to her neighbors, her community, and the people who sent her to Congress.
This is a competitive Democratic primary, and the stakes are real. Supporting Julie Johnson’s re-election means backing a Democrat who stays, puts up a fight, and governs with integrity, because when Texans are on the line, she does not back down.
