Candidate spotlight: Tennessee State Representative Gloria Johnson
In the latest edition of our "Candidate Spotlight", I sat down with Tennessee State Representative Gloria Johnson, a member of the ‘Tennessee Three,’ to talk about her campaign for the US Senate against incumbent Senator Marsha Blackburn. In our conversation, Gloria shares her journey into politics, the issues that are important to her and how she can represent the residents of Tennessee in the US Senate:
If you would like to donate to Johnson’s campaign, you can do so here.
I watched her through the TN statehouse debacle. Great job!
Marsha Blackburn is one of the best examples of poor Southerners voting against their own interests. She has done considerable damage to the people who voted for her. Among her efforts to undermine and destroy the lives of her constituents:
Wants to repeal the ACA and opposes Medicaid expansion.
Failure to repeal ACA, even for people with pre-existing conditions, was called a disgrace by her.
Opposed to any Federal childcare assistance — calls it communism.
Unclear and contradictory positions on violence against women.
Called the 1965 Supreme Court ruling on contraception as unsound.
Voted against the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
Voted against the Pay Check Fairness Act.
I could go on. If people in Tennessee want to continue with the above and more, then there is nothing further to say.
