Ann Johnson

Representative for Texas House District 134 (Houston, Bellaire, Southside Place, and West University).

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

I am excited to let you know that I’m running for reelection to the Texas House of Representatives for District 134.

With your support, we've accomplished a lot; but there is much more to do. #txlege

Property taxes are high because Republicans have shifted the state’s funding responsibilities onto homeowners.

If they were serious about relief, they wouldn’t divert public education dollars to private schools.

Texas doesn't have a money problem. We have a priorities problem.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

Texas can’t claim to protect life while over 2 million women are uninsured.

Instead of expanding coverage, Republicans have focused on restricting and penalizing care, making women and infants less safe.

Healthy babies start with healthy moms, and healthy moms need healthcare.

Ken Paxton has spent years fear mongering Texans about alleged “election fraud.”  

Now, evidence suggests he’s committed election fraud in the last 6 elections he voted in.  

That's hypocrisy. Plain and simple.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

The greatest cost of corruption isn’t what politicians gain — it’s what we all lose.

While Republicans fixate on protecting their power and partisan agendas, Texans are left struggling to get by.

But change becomes real when people believe they deserve better and act on it.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

There are two people who know Ken Paxton best: his wife and his defense lawyer.

Both have walked away from him.

That tells you everything you need to know about Ken Paxton.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in the country. 

While people struggle to keep up with grocery prices, utility costs, and rising insurance premiums, he's gotten $12 million richer since taking office. 

Texans work too hard to be represented by a conman.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

BREAKING: Trump just said he "loves the inflation."

Texans don't.

Since he took office, gas prices have doubled, healthcare premiums are up over 30%, and electric rates are at historic highs.

Republicans made this mess, we can't trust them to fix it.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?

Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

3 years ago today, Republicans impeached Ken Paxton.

Last night, they nominated him for the United States Senate.

Texas Republicans have once again sold us out to Trump and his billionaire friends.

We must end Paxton's reign of corruption. We must elect @jamestalarico.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

Texans should be concerned when politicians override doctors and families.

Paxton once again used state power to intimidate healthcare providers and politicize personal medical decisions.

Healthcare should be guided by science and patient wellbeing, never partisan rhetoric.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

Today we broke ground on the Cypress Ditch Flood Mitigation Project in Bellaire!

Last session, I worked with state and local leaders to secure $54 million from the state so we could protect our city without raising taxes.

This is how we build a more resilient Houston.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

When I was a new lawyer, I took a case everyone said I would lose.

I had just been diagnosed with cancer, and decided if my life could end any minute, I would spend it fighting for what was right. 

I won. And I proved that grit can often achieve what experience alone can't.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

An out-of-state school just got approved for Texas vouchers.

We knew this would happen — and Republicans voted down my amendment to prevent it. 

Texas taxpayer dollars should go to Texas schools.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

Great to meet @PulidoForTexas and talk about his plan for South Texas.

He is focused on the issues Texans care about: lower costs, accessible health care, and strong public schools.

A true Texas voice, stepping up to fight for working families in the future we all share.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

Over 75% of voucher applicants are already in private school.

Calling this “school choice” doesn’t change the facts. 

It's a taxpayer-funded discount for private school. Not an escape route for struggling public school students.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

I represent the world's largest medical center. H-1b visas ensure that we are at the forefront of innovation and care.

We shouldn't shut down the greatest talent — we should recruit them to join our team.

This political stunt will have a significant impact on the Texas economy.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

Another American is dead at the hands of federal law enforcement.

Trump’s chaos-first, truth-last approach to government is putting lives at risk.

This isn’t just a failure of leadership. It’s a crisis of justice that demands consequences.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

If you’re registered to vote in Texas, you are now under GOP surveillance.

The party of “small government” and “individual privacy” just willfully turned over sensitive records on 18.4 million Texans.

You don’t strengthen democracy by spying on voters.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

Trump is deliberately fueling division and mistrust of our institutions with chaos, and dysfunction, and dishonesty.

As your former chief human trafficking prosecutor, I often defend law enforcement.

This is indefensible. And it demands accountability.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

The Supreme Court just failed this country.

Despite clear evidence of racial gerrymandering, they upheld maps designed to rig the next election and silence communities of color.

I will never stop fighting to restore fair representation in Texas. Our future depends on it.

[Ann Johnson @VoteAnnJohnson]

Texas Democrats broke quorum because we knew that Trump was trying to silence voters with a racist and unconstitutional gerrymandering scheme.

A Trump-appointed Federal Judge agreed — and blocked the new maps from taking effect.

This is why we fight back.
