Johnson, who succeeded Cynthia McKinney in Congress and previously served on the DeKalb County Commission, has been active in discussing matters related to public health and judicial independence.
On February 14, 2025, Rep. Hank Johnson tweeted about actions taken by Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert Kennedy. According to Johnson, “On his first day as Secretary of Health and Human Services, @SecKennedy deliberately crippled the U.S. response to threats to our public health by firing approximately 1,300 CDC employees.” He highlighted that these cuts affected experienced professionals dedicated to public health.
On February 15, 2025, Johnson announced an upcoming forum related to former President Donald Trump’s early days in office. In his tweet, he stated: “Trump’s first 30 days in office are approaching. I am hosting a forum on Wednesday, February 19, at 7 PM.” The event is intended for residents of Georgia’s 4th district to express their questions and concerns.
Later that day, Rep. Hank Johnson discussed efforts with fellow lawmakers regarding the judiciary system’s integrity. He mentioned leading a letter addressed to Chief Justice Roberts alongside other representatives: “I led a letter with @RepZoeLofgren, @RepTedLieu, @RepDeborahRoss, @RepSwalwell & @RepKamlagerDove to Chief Justice Roberts emphasizing the critical need for a judiciary that is seen as independent, fair, and legitimate.”
