Gloria Johnson (born May 25, 1962){{cite web |url=http://votesmart.org/candidate/biography/138629 |title=Gloria Johnson's Biography |publisher=Project Vote Smart |access-date=March 13, 2014}} is an American politician and Democratic member of the Tennessee House of Representatives currently representing District 90, and formerly District 13, based in Knoxville.{{cite web |title=Representative Gloria Johnson |url=https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/legislatorinfo/member.aspx?district=H90 |website=Tennessee General Assembly |access-date=7 April 2023}} 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 was the Democratic Party nominee for the 2024 United States Senate election in Tennessee, losing to incumbent Republican Marsha Blackburn.
Tennessee House of Representatives
In 2012, Johnson was elected to represent District 13 in the Tennessee House of Representatives. She lost re-election to Eddie Smith in 2014.
Following a failed attempt in 2016, Johnson defeated Smith in 2018.{{Cite news|url=https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/politics/elections/2018/11/06/tn-election-eddie-smith-gloria-johnson-hd-13-election-day-2018-knox-county-midterm-elections/1819489002/|title=TN Election: Johnson beats Smith in State House District 13 seat |date=November 7, 2018 |last=McDermott |first=Brenna |work=Knoxville News Sentinel|language=en|access-date=2019-02-12}} She was re-elected in 2020.{{cite news |title=2020 Tennessee State House - District 13 Election Results |url=https://www.freep.com/elections/results/race/2020-11-03-state_house-TN-43073/ |access-date=7 April 2023 |work=Detroit Free Press |date=December 3, 2020}} Following redistricting, Johnson's residence became located in District 15, which already had a Democratic incumbent. Because of this, Johnson moved to District 90 and won the seat in 2022.{{cite news |last1=Jones |first1=Vivian |last2=Burgess |first2=Katherine |last3=Gibson |first3=Robin |title=Tennessee three: What to know about the House Democrats targeted for expulsion by Republicans |url=https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/2023/04/07/tennessee-house-expulsion-gloria-johnson-justin-jones-justin-pearson/70080338007/ |access-date=7 April 2023 |work=The Tennessean |date=April 7, 2023}}
In January 2021, Johnson was assigned a small, windowless conference room for use as her office in the Cordell Hull State Office Building. Johnson disagreed with the room she was given, and alleged her assignment to it was retribution from State House Speaker Cameron Sexton after she was the only representative to abstain from voting for Sexton in the speakership election. Johnson instead moved her desk to the hallway outside and gave the room to her assistant, who was originally given a non-connecting closet for her office.{{cite news |last1=Dorman |first1=Travis |title=Here's why Knoxville Rep.

During a legislative session three days after the 2023 Covenant School shooting, Johnson and fellow Democratic representatives Justin Jones and Justin Pearson led a gun control protest on the House floor.{{cite news |last1=Allen |first1=Jonathan |last2=Brooks |first2=Brad |title=Protesters demand action on guns at Tennessee statehouse |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/us/protesters-demand-action-guns-tennessee-statehouse-2023-03-30/ |access-date=July 18, 2023 |work=Reuters |date=March 31, 2023}} Later dubbed the "Tennessee Three", the trio interrupted House proceedings with their demonstration as thousands protested outside of the building.{{Cite web |date=2023-12-27 |title=The Tennessee Three puts the tri-star state in the national spotlight |url=https://www.newschannel5.com/news/the-tennessee-three-puts-the-tri-star-state-in-the-national-spotlight |access-date=2024-05-01 |website=News Channel 5 Nashville (WTVF) |language=en}} The demonstration violated the chamber's decorum rules, as the three members were not recognized to speak and utilized a bullhorn.{{cite news |last1=Andone |first1=Dakin |last2=Young |first2=Ryan |last3=Simonson |first3=Amy |last4=Almasy |first4=Steve |title=Tennessee House of Representatives debating whether to expel 3 Democratic lawmakers |url=https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/06/us/tennessee-democrats-office-removal-vote/index.html |access-date=6 April 2023 |work=CNN |date=April 6, 2023}}
