In his eighth term in the U.S. House of Representatives from Georgia’s Fourth Congressional District – which encompasses parts of DeKalb, Gwinnett and Newton counties and all of Rockdale County – Congressman Hank Johnson has distinguished himself as a substantive, effective lawmaker and a leading national progressive voice. Named one of the most effective Democrats in Congress by a University of Virginia and University of Vanderbilt study, Rep. Johnson has proven his ability to get things done.
What Hank has done:
Rep. Johnson Votes to Meet the Needs of Servicemembers and Military Families, Strengthen National Security in 2021.
In 2020, Congressman Hank Johnson voted in favor of a War Powers Resolution to limit President Trump's military actions regarding Iran; a resolution that reiterates that only Congress can declare war and affirms that Congress has not authorized the use of military force against Iran.
Cosponsored "The Berta Cáceres Human Rights in Honduras Act" that calls for the suspension of U.S. funding to the Republic of Honduras for its police and military operations, issued the following statement in response to news that some of those responsible for Berta's murder received prison sentences.
October 24, 2019, voted to pass H.R. 4617, the Stopping Harmful Interference in Elections for a Lasting Democracy (SHIELD) Act.
Received an "A" on League of Conservation National Environmental Report Card. He believes: "Climate change is real and threatens our health, the environment, national security and our economy, and I'm committed to working with anyone on Capitol Hill or in the White House to invest in clean-energy technologies and jobs."
Introduced the "Election Infrastructure and Security Promotion Act of 2016" (H.R. 6073) that requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) designate our voting systems as critical infrastructure and the "Election Integrity Act of 2016" (H.R. 6072). This will put a limitation on the purchasing of any new voting systems that do not provide durable voter-verified paper ballots.
