Congressman Hank Johnson

I am proud to reintroduce my Resolution in support of designating October 17th as National Vitiligo Awareness Day. In a world that is increasingly unkind about the things that make us unique, I will always stand with and support all who live with skin disease.

Throughout GA-04 and beyond, we recognize and celebrate the many cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples. On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recommit to honoring the communities and traditions that have endured across generations and continue to shape our country.

Everyone deserves access to the care, support, and resources they need to thrive. This World Mental Health Day, we recommit to ending the stigma and making mental health care more accessible to all.

On the third anniversary of the horrific October 7th attack that claimed more than 1200 lives, I continue calling for the immediate and permanent end to the bloodshed that continues to this day. We must never give up on the prospect of a lasting peace in the Middle East.

I am always grateful for the opportunity to speak with Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice, President and CEO of Morehouse School of Medicine. The work that MSM has done for the greater Atlanta community and beyond, even despite cuts to federal funding and grants, is invaluable and encouraging.

Wishing a meaningful Yom Kippur and an easy fast to all observing in GA-04 and beyond.

The cost of diesel fuel is at a record high while Trump is encouraging big tech to continue building enormous data centers in our backyards. These consequences of Trumps’s self-serving polices and my Republican colleagues’ mindless support for them have become the reality for millions of Americans.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! We celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic communities across GA-04 and our nation. Proud to have honored Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights at our H.O.P.E. Awards. This month and always, we celebrate those who help make our country GREAT.

Wishing a happy and sweet new year and a meaningful Rosh Hashanah to the Jewish community in GA-04 and beyond. May the year ahead be filled with peace, joy, and new beginnings.

Congressman Hank Johnson’s Statement on 25th Anniversary of September 11th Attacks

Trump is promising Americans a $5,000 “dividend” if Republicans win (which is illegal btw). Meanwhile, his family has gotten billions richer as everyday Americans have suffered the costs. 

Maybe the Trump dividends should be coming out of the Trump profits, not taxpayer dollars.

Dr. Lonnie Bunch’s tenure at the Smithsonian is as historic as the artifacts, art and stories he so brilliantly curated. His legacy extends far beyond the National Museum of African American History & Culture, and far beyond Washington’s petty politics.

Happy Labor Day! Today, we celebrate the workers and labor unions whose hard work keeps our communities moving. I’ll always stand with working people and fight for good jobs, fair wages, and an economy that works for everyone.

The American people deserve a judiciary that serves our democracy, not a narrow ideological agenda that only benefits the rich and powerful.

Welcome to the Congressional Black Caucus, @repanalilia & @evertonblair.

American innovation can thrive only when opportunity to participate is accessible to all. RM @hankjohnson.house.gov explains that failure to reauthorize the USPTO’s fee-setting authority will have devastating effects on its workforce and innovators. youtu.be/6hX-rR5CoOE

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! We celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic communities across GA-04 and our nation. Proud to have honored Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights at our H.O.P.E. Awards. This month and always, we celebrate those who help make our country GREAT.

Republicans are more focused on lowering voter turnout and lowering taxes for the rich instead of lowering the cost of living for everyday Americans.

Congressman Johnson Denounces SCOTUS Decision Opening Door for Trump’s Attacks on Mail-in Ballots Ahead of November Elections

While the recent #SCOTUS ruling cleared the path for Trump to attack mail-in ballots, there are 2 cases pending that could stop the administration in their tracks. Either way, injecting needless uncertainty into our elections this week is proof that we need court reform now.

I’m deeply saddened at the news that Dolly Parton has passed away. A brilliant and prolific songwriter and a generous, authentic and compassionate woman, she will be missed. “I Will Always Love You”.

For generations, Americans have fought to expand access to the ballot - not restrict it. We cannot turn back the clock on voting rights. Every eligible voter deserves the opportunity to make their voice heard.

While ICE continues to terrorize immigrant communities under Trump’s America, private, for-profit detention facilities like Stewart Detention Facility in Lumpkin, GA use taxpayer dollars to deny those detainees access to basic human rights. This cruelty must come to an end.

DeKalb County has lost a legend. Saddened to learn of the passing of Coach Buck Godfrey. It was an honor to recognize him earlier this year for his extraordinary contributions to our community. His impact on generations of young people will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Coach.

This is what representation looks like #mentality

Under Donald Trump, ICE has become abusive. Children are being locked away and traumatized at the Dilley Trailer Prison. They have done nothing wrong. I’m demanding Trump #ShutDownDilley and free the children.

Some might say I have a way with words #mentality

My condolences to the family and to my young homie 21. The promiscuous gun culture in Georgia is killing our youth. We can and must do better. www.complex.com/music/a/trey...

It was a pleasure meeting with Atlanta-based leaders from Cox Enterprises, who are visiting D.C. advocating on behalf of their nearly 1,000 employees in GA-04. Thank you all for stopping by!

Congratulations to Hudson for winning this year's Congressional Art Competition for Georgia's Fourth Congressional District. It was wonderful to meet him and his mom when they visited DC, and to learn more about his art and his goals for the future.

Years ago, I shared my hepatitis C story to help erase the stigma. Today, I'm proud to help introduce legislation that expands access to testing and treatment.

Wishing everyone in GA-04 a safe and happy Fourth of July! Today, we celebrate our country, our community, and the shared values that bring us together as we continue to fight for a more perfect union.

At this 250-year mark of the beginning of American democracy, we see democracy for all under attack. Unfortunately, it's the United States Supreme Court that's leading the movement to deconstruct our democracy, and it must be reformed.

Happy birthday to my wonderful wife, life partner, and phenomenal leader in our family and community!

Happy World Vitiligo Day! Vitiligo is not only a cosmetic condition, but also an autoimmune disorder that impacts 70 million people around the globe, including me. I am proud to stand alongside Vitiligo patients around the world.

Today, the Supreme Court allowed Donald Trump and Stephen Miller to withdraw Temporary Protected Status from the 11,000 Haitians that live in Georgia, and the 350,000 that live across the country. It is a sad day, but we will continue to fight.

Trump would rather see Americans on the street than at the ballot box. He is holding legislation to lower your housing costs hostage to force through his authoritarian election takeover, and House Democrats refuse to stand idly by. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyWQgGYjzCI

Happy Father's Day to all our fathers out here in GA-04 & beyond. Let's celebrate our fathers -- step-fathers, fathers-in-law, mentors, coaches, anyone who is a role model making a positive impact on our families and communities. We need your steady hand now more than ever.

On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger delivered an order to finally enforce the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing 250,000 enslaved Black Texans. Today, we celebrate that freedom and recommit to today’s fight for justice and equality. Happy Juneteenth!

This National Gun Violence Awareness Day, I am wearing orange to honor victims and survivors of gun violence. We must remain committed to advancing solutions that keep our communities safe and prevent more tragedies from taking place.

Pride Month is a celebration of authenticity, community, and resilience. The defiant spirit of the Stonewall uprising taught us we must never back down from a fight for dignity. In today's trying times, I proudly stand with LGBTQI+ Americans in GA-04 and beyond. Happy Pride Month!
