Education
Congressman Johnson believes that high-quality education should be a right, not a privilege, for all Americans. He is committed to addressing inequalities within the education system, increasing funding for public schools, and making higher education more accessible. Hank has introduced and supported legislation to secure resources for schools, protect students from abusive loan practices, and enhance access to arts, music, and technical education programs. Moving forward, he will continue to advocate for increased teacher pay and equitable funding for under-resourced schools to ensure every student has the chance to succeed.
