Congressman Henry C. “Hank” Johnson, Jr. has served Georgia’s Fourth Congressional District since 2007, currently representing parts of DeKalb and Gwinnett counties. Elected to his 10th term in 2024, he has earned recognition as one of Congress’s most effective Democrats, championing legislation that strengthens civil rights, consumer protections, judicial transparency and accountability, and community safety.
As a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee and ranking member of its Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet, Congressman Johnson has been a national leader on court reform, pushing for accountability and ethical standards for Justices seated on the United States Supreme Court. His legislation includes the Judiciary Act, which would have added seats to the U.S. Supreme Court; the TERM Act, which would place term limits on current and future Supreme Court justices; and the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal and Transparency Act, which would mandate a binding and enforceable code of conduct for justices, with gift and travel reporting requirements equal to those followed by legislative and executive branch officials.
