Hi, Jarvis Johnson here and I'm running for my 4th term for the Texas House of Representatives. I have been working hard to stop harmful legislation put forth by Republicans. I've also championed foster care reforms, criminal justice reform and access to vocational training in our public schools.
I was one of the first Democrats who left the House Chamber and killed SB 7 or Jim Crow 2.0. This bill targeted Harris county, and districts like mine. Black churches in my community for years have done Souls to the Polls, Republicans were attacking my constituents.
There has never been a more pivotal time to fundraise for my re-election campaign. We are being called back to a special session to pass bills we killed during the regular session, right after the Governor Defunded the Legislative Branch. It’s expensive to win a campaign, and expensive for me and my staff to get called back to Austin with no pay. Just like me, my staff are committed to District 139. I don’t expect or stand for them to work for free, but they are on duty for my constituents- that’s why we need your help.
Every penny helps.
