Career
Johnson defeated incumbent Republican Matt Rinaldi in the 2018 elections. She is one of Dallas County's first two openly gay elected officials, and the first member of the Texas House with a spouse of the same gender.
In 2021, Johnson and the Texas House Democratic Caucus left the state, traveling to Washington D.C. in order to delay voting on any new bills in a special July session. Texas House Republicans voted to arrest the elected members to compel their attendance, though they did not have the jurisdiction to do so.
In June 2023, Johnson announced that she would run for the United States House of Representatives in Texas's 32nd congressional district in the 2024 elections, as incumbent Colin Allred is not running for reelection.
Personal life
Johnson and her wife, Susan Moster, were married in San Francisco in 2014.
