Consumer Protection
Congressman Johnson has always been a champion for “the little guy.” From his post on the Judiciary Committee, he continues to introduce legislation designed to level the bargaining and legal playing field between consumers and service and product providers. In March 2022, his bipartisan Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal (FAIR) Act (H.R. 963) that re-establishes everyday Americans' 7th Amendment right to seek justice and accountability through the court system, passed the House of Representatives. Congressman Johnson supports increasing funding of and oversight on the part of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). He has called for quality control and safety assurance mechanisms in any trade agreements.
