Campaign website

Johnson’s campaign website stated the following:

Gloria is running for U.S. Senate because she knows it is time to shift power back where it belongs: with working and middle class families. She will be a Senator who puts Tennesseans first:

Protect abortion rights across the country and make sure that women can access birth control and fertility treatments like IVF.

Fight for bipartisan, commonsense gun safety laws that keep guns out of the hands of people who are a risk to others and themselves.

Work to lower rising costs of housing, groceries, and education.

Expand quality, affordable health care in our rural areas and fight to lower drug costs.

Increase funding for our public schools and invest in our teachers and students. [11]
