This Thanksgiving...

Hank Johnson for Congress My thoughts turn to those embroiled in war. John, This Thanksgiving, as I think about all I have to be thankful for in my life, my thoughts are turning to people on the other side of the world who are embroiled in war — particularly the innocent people of Gaz…

It’s not arbitrary

Hank Johnson for Congress Hi John, I just talked with my team, and with our deadline looming at 11:59 tonight, we’re still over $600 behind our goal. I know these deadlines can seem arbitrary. But they’re meant to help us stay on track. If we miss too many of them, that adds up. And it means w…

Polls don’t vote

Hank Johnson for Congress DeKalb County voters do. Hi John, it’s Hank’s wife Mereda! While Hank is focusing on Supreme Court reform this week, I told him I’d help out with fundraising so the campaign can meet its $2,500 end-of-week goal. But now that I’m in the spreadsheet and looking…

It’s working!

Hank Johnson for Congress But we’re not going to let SCOTUS pull a fast one on us. John – Did you see the news about the Supreme Court adopting a code of conduct for justices? I have two thoughts to share with you. First, we’re making a difference. I’ve been leading the fight in Cong…

No stopping now

Hank Johnson for Congress Americans and Georgians alike are sick of MAGA extremists threatening every corner of their lives. John – I’ll keep this short! Progress on issues affecting everyday Americans is in our future. 'Why?' you may ask. Because just last week, Democrats across the …

That’s not me, John!

Hank Johnson for Congress I didn’t want you to get the wrong idea. John – You might have heard that Congressman Johnson — who represents a district in the South and who sits on the Judiciary Committee — was elected by the Republicans as Speaker. I want to make doubly sure you know — t…

Extremism in disguise:

Hank Johnson for Congress Governor Brian Kemp John – Gov. Brian Kemp may claim to have ‘stood up’ to President Trump, but let us be clear: His agenda is still extreme and is still dangerous to democracy in Georgia and beyond. At one point, Gov. Kemp was even asked about how his extrem…

365 days on the front lines of democracy

Hank Johnson for Congress This is where the MAGA GOP is bringing the fight. My district is the epicenter. John – Today’s a big day here in Georgia — we are exactly one year away from Election Day 2024. And our state is ground zero in the national contest for the White House. It pains …

A painfully obvious question

Hank Johnson for Congress How can a purple state be so red in Congress? John – Last week, a federal judge found what we all suspected was true — that the Republican state legislature drew Georgia’s district boundaries to dilute the power of Black voters. Looking at Georgia’s political…

Republicans were given the keys

Hank Johnson for Congress … and they immediately drove the House of Representatives into a brick wall. John – After three rounds of voting, we are no closer to having a new Speaker in the wake of Kevin McCarthy’s ouster. But there IS a clear favorite. In the last three votes, the lead…

Release the Kraken

You choose the next Speaker, John

Hank Johnson for Congress Let’s consider some candidates who would actually put progress ahead of politics. John – This is getting ridiculous. It’s been over a week since the MAGA GOP kneecapped the people’s House and ousted their own elected Speaker. And we STILL don’t have a replace…

If you read nothing else, John — read this

Hank Johnson for Congress We have a chance to make a POWERFUL statement.   I want to give you the latest. Extreme MAGA Republicans have barreled the People’s House into chaos, crisis, and confusion. Who knows how long it will take for them to get their act together. On the other side …

worried about tomorrow, John

Hank Johnson for Congress Hi John, We’re getting on in the evening, and I’m concerned about what tomorrow will bring. I’ll be reporting my quarterly fundraising totals to the FEC for them to make public. John, we’re still over $1,500 away from my $7,000 goal. I know you’ve probably been sent s…

missing our goal is simply not an option

Hank Johnson for Congress I know we can get back on track to win in Ohio and defend the Senate.   John – I just left a tough phone call with my campaign manager. At the rate we're going, we're not on track to reach our critical end-of-quarter goal. This isn't good — especially since w…

bad move, Kevin

Why I chose desk 88

Hank Johnson for Congress When I saw the names on it, I knew I had found my Senate home.   John, it's a well-known tradition for senators to carve their names in the drawers of their desks in the Senate – some of which have been around since the early 1800s. It's perhaps a bit less we…

For Hank, it goes deeper than the results

Hank Johnson for Congress He’s fighting for our rights, and he’s not letting up. Hi John,  I’m reaching out to ask you for a favor, and it has to do with my husband, Hank. He’s been real worried this week, even as he was busy on his court reform package in DC. Hank knows that if we do…

What’s the saying about Nero fiddling while Rome burned?

The status quo is a stubborn thing, John

Two deadlines, both alike in gravity

It could be decades, unless we pass my bill

Hank Johnson for Congress Conservatives have gamed the system with dark money and backroom deals to handpick the current SCOTUS majority. John, Congress can raise an army. The President can command it. Hard power is woven into those two branches of government. But the power of the Sup…

The state of our Supreme Court

“I don’t trust nobody and nobody trusts me”

What exactly was Brian Kemp fixing?

Hank Johnson for Congress SB 202 didn’t target voter fraud. It targeted voters.   Gov. Brian Kemp said Trump was wrong. Whoop de doo. He was five years too late John. Democrats predicted in 2015 the incredible danger Donald Trump posed, and no one heaped high praise on us. It’s time to…

“some basic realities”

Hank Johnson for Congress That’s what Fani Willis told Jim Jordan to deal with.   We’ve all thought it. Hank’s even said as much to Jim Jordan’s face during hearings But Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has a way with words, and she wrote to MAGA acolyte Jim Jordan: "It is t…

“Do exactly as I say...”

The *definition* of impropriety
