Gloria Johnson (born May 25, 1962)[1] is an American politician and Democratic member of the Tennessee House of Representatives currently representing District 90, and formerly District 13, based in Knoxville.[2] In April 2023, she and two other state representatives faced expulsion votes from the Tennessee General Assembly after taking to the floor of the State House unrecognized to protest gun violence. Johnson was the only one of the three legislators not to be expelled. Johnson is the Democratic Party nominee for the 2024 United States Senate election in Tennessee currently held by incumbent Republican Marsha Blackburn.
