Congresswoman Julie Johnson Announces Military Pardon Reform Bill

Congresswoman Julie Johnson Announces Military Pardon Reform Bill
Washington, DC — Today, Congresswoman Julie Johnson (TX-32), a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, along with Congressman Johnny Olszewski (MD-02), introduced the Enduring Accountability Act. The legislation would require service branch secretaries to establish conduct review boards for personnel who have received pardons by the President of the United States. Once under consideration, the review boards will recommend to the Service Secretary whether to retain the pardoned service member in the United States Armed Forces.
“Our armed forces have faced constant intimidation from President Trump and his allies to abandon the Constitution and comply with his shortsighted political ambitions,” said Congresswoman Johnson. "The Enduring Accountability Act gives our armed services an important tool for removing those who violate their oaths of service, regardless of political theater."
"A pardon shouldn't end all accountability," said Congressman Johnny Olszewski (MD-02). "When a service member is granted a pardon, they should still answer to the same standards as everyone else in uniform. That's how we keep trust and discipline in our military."
Immediately after the President grants a federal pardon, the conduct review board will initiate proceedings. The boards will review the pardoned actions, determine whether they violate military standards, and recommend to the Service Secretary whether to retain or discharge the service member. The legislation further directs the Secretary of Defense to provide Congress with the review board’s accepted recommendation, or a justification for rejecting it, within 30 days.

Position: The release supports legislation to make DACA recipients eligible for the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award after completing AmeriCorps national service.

Congresswoman Julie Johnson Introduces National Service Access for Dreamers Act
Washington, DC — Today, Congresswoman Julie Johnson (TX-32), the Vice Ranking Member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, together with Congresswoman Delia Ramirez (IL-03), a member of the Homeland Security Committee, introduced the National Service Access for Dreamers Act, legislation that would make DACA recipients eligible for the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award once they have completed national service.
Currently, DACA recipients can participate in AmeriCorps VISTA, working with nonprofits and public agencies to combat poverty and strengthen communities. However, federal law does not allow them to earn the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award because of their citizenship status. The National Service Access for Dreamers Act would close that gap by allowing eligible DACA recipients who complete AmeriCorps service to receive the education benefit tied to that service.
“The National Service Access for Dreamers Act will help relieve the increasing costs of higher education in Texas and across the country,” said Congresswoman Johnson. “DACA recipients who serve their communities through AmeriCorps should have access to the same education benefits their fellow members earn. This bill makes sure their service is recognized and gives more young people the opportunity to invest in their education and their future.”
“The AmeriCorps program and the Segal Education Award give people the opportunity to serve our communities and pursue higher education. National service programs that pair career development with educational access should be open to all students, regardless of income or immigration status,” said Congresswoman Ramirez. “I’m proud to co-lead the National Service Access for Dreamers Act with Congresswoman Julie Johnson, which would expand the Segal Education Award’s eligibility to DACA recipients. I urge my colleagues to join us to ensure more accessible, inclusive opportunities for our young people.”

Johnson Introduces Bipartisan Bill to Bolster Baltic States’ Defense and Rein in Russia
Position: The release announces introduction of the FORTIFY Act, which would authorize retransfers of U.S. defense articles and services among the Baltic states to deter Russian aggression, and expresses support for strengthening Baltic allies' defense capabilities.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Julie Johnson (TX-32), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, along with Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02), Europe Subcommittee Ranking Member Bill Keating (MA-09), and House Baltic Caucus Co-Chairs Congressman Don Bacon (NE-02) and Congressman Salud Carbajal (CA-24), introduced the Facilitating Operational Readiness Through Inter-Baltics Flexibility (FORTIFY) Act. The legislation will authorize the retransfers of U.S. defense articles and services among the Baltic states to deter Russian aggression.
“The Baltic states have been strong allies and partners, purchasing more than $1 billion in U.S. defense equipment over the last four years. These investments support American jobs, including many in my district, while strengthening our shared security interests,” said Congresswoman Julie Johnson. “At a time when key defense deliveries face delays, it is important that our allies have the tools and flexibility they need to maintain their security and deter aggression. This legislation helps ensure they can continue to respond effectively to evolving threats and uphold stability in the region.”
"The United States rightfully never recognized the Soviet occupation of the Baltic states throughout the Cold War. Today, with their sovereignty fully restored, the Baltic states are among the strongest and most reliable allies of the United States,” said Congressman Joe Wilson. An investment in the Baltics pays enormous dividends. They are fully aligned with our interests and we should do everything we can to help them defend themselves and, in turn, maintain U.S. national security and the safety of every American family.”
“Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are steadfast NATO allies committed to NATO’s collective defense. All three Baltic countries continue to purchase U.S. defense systems to fortify their own security against Russian aggression,” said Ranking Member Bill Keating. “The FORTIFY Act is an important step to support our Baltic allies and allow them to more seamlessly transfer U.S. defense articles to one another. This is a common step measure to strengthen NATO’s deterrence, and I appreciate Representative Julie Johnson and other bipartisan members of Congress for introducing this measure.”
“The Baltic states are on the front lines of Putin’s aggression, and the United States should make it easier, not harder, for these NATO allies to work together,” said Congressman Don Bacon, Co-Chair of the House Baltic Caucus. “The FORTIFY Act gives Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania the flexibility to move critical U.S. defense articles and services among one another so they can respond faster, strengthen deterrence, and defend NATO’s eastern flank. I'm glad to join Congresswoman Johnson and my colleagues in this bipartisan effort to stand with our Baltic allies and counter Russia’s aggression.”
“Now more than ever, we must stand firmly with our Baltic allies to counter Russian aggression in Ukraine and prevent the conflict from expanding,” said Congressman Carbajal, Co-Chair of the House Baltic Caucus. “I’m proud to co-lead Rep. Johnson’s bipartisan bill to provide our allies with the equipment they need to strengthen their defenses.”

Position: Supports legislation limiting private health insurance prior authorization requirements to once per year for patients with autoimmune diseases or blood disorders, citing treatment delays and administrative burden.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Julie Johnson (TX-32) and Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17) announced the introduction of their bipartisan Prior Authorization Reform for Autoimmune & Blood Disorders Act. The legislation will limit the number of prior authorizations required by private health insurance plans to once per year for patients with autoimmune diseases or blood disorders.
“No American living with an autoimmune disease should have to go through the repeated and burdensome process of prior authorization just to prove they still have the same chronic condition within the same year,” said Congresswoman Julie Johnson. “For patients managing lifelong illnesses, unnecessary prior authorization requirements can delay access to treatment, create stress and uncertainty, and force doctors to spend valuable time on paperwork instead of patient care. This commonsense, bipartisan legislation will help reduce administrative barriers, streamline access to medically necessary treatments, and ensure patients can focus on their health rather than fighting with their insurance company.”
“Patients living with autoimmune diseases and blood disorders shouldn’t have to fight their insurance company to get the medications their doctors prescribe,” said Congressman Mike Lawler. “This commonsense legislation would curb insurance delays and administrative hurdles by limiting prior authorization for autoimmune and blood disorder prescriptions to once per year, ensuring patients get faster, more consistent access to essential medications.”
The bill is endorsed by the American Medical Association (AMA), the Texas Medical Association, the Autoimmune Association, the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians, the American College of Osteopathic Internists, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, and the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology - Hepatology and Nutrition.
“Prior authorization, especially repeat requests, contributes significantly to physician burnout and, more importantly, jeopardizes patients’ timely access to care,” said Dr. Bobby Mukkamala, president of the American Medical Association. “An American Medical Association survey found that 95% of physicians report prior authorization requirements delay necessary treatment. Additionally, 79% of the survey respondents said prior authorization can at least sometimes result in patients abandoning recommended treatment altogether. Given these alarming findings, the AMA commends Reps. Julie Johnson (D-TX) and Mike Lawler (R-NY) for introducing the Prior Authorization Reform for Autoimmune and Blood Disorders Act to ensure the commercial market does not inappropriately use utilization management techniques for these two important areas of patient care.”
“More than 50 million Americans live with an autoimmune disease, and delays in care can lead to permanent disease progression,” said Molly Murray, President and CEO, Autoimmune Association. “Patients already navigate complex care and treatment plans, and prior authorization only adds more burden and unpredictability. The Autoimmune Association is proud to support the Prior Authorization Reform for Autoimmune and Blood Disorders Act and grateful to Congresswoman Johnson and Congressman Lawler for standing up for patients by addressing this harmful insurance practice.”
“Children with chronic immune-mediated gastrointestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, and autoimmune hepatitis depend on uninterrupted access to lifelong therapy. Repeated insurer reauthorization requirements — sometimes several times each year — create unnecessary administrative burden and can delay treatment approvals, resulting in gaps in care that place children at risk for hospitalization and loss of disease control,” said Vicky Ng, MD, President of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN). “NASPGHAN commends Congresswoman Julie Johnson and Congressman Mike Lawler for their introduction of the Prior Authorization Reform for Autoimmune and Blood Disorders Act that will put patient well-being over unnecessary paperwork."

Johnson Introduces Bipartisan Bill Championing Bleeding Disorders Research
Position: The release supports federal legislation directing HHS to review barriers to bleeding disorder diagnosis and care among underserved populations, increase related research, and conduct public awareness efforts, and criticizes prior administration cuts to programs addressing bleeding disorders.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Julie Johnson (TX-32), along with Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02), introduced the bipartisan Fostering Effective Diagnosis and Treatment for Underserved Populations (FED UP) with Bleeding Disorders Act of 2026. The legislation will create increased research opportunities for bleeding disorders among underserved populations.
“It takes an average of 16 years for a woman with a bleeding disorder to receive a proper diagnosis. That means countless women in Texas and across the United States are living with an undiagnosed condition and are unable to get the care and treatment they need during injury, surgery, trauma, menstruation, or childbirth,” said Johnson. “For too long, bleeding disorders were wrongly seen as conditions that only affect men, which has led to women and girls often being excluded from clinical research. As a result, they face higher rates of pregnancy complications, hospitalizations, and mortality, and are too often pushed toward unnecessary hysterectomies.”
“That’s why I fought to protect funding for the programs that help address bleeding disorders and pushed back against the administration’s reckless cuts,” Johnson continued. “It’s also why I worked alongside the incredible advocates at the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation and the Texas Bleeding Disorders Coalition to advance long-term solutions that will improve timely diagnosis and care.
“So many women of South Carolina are negatively impacted by bleeding disorders, between insurance companies failing to prioritize their treatment, and the challenges of rural healthcare, enough obstacles to treatment already exist,” said Congressman Joe Wilson. “There is no reason for a lack of research to be contributing to the bleeding disorder population. Everyone deserves timely and proper treatment, especially those most impacted by a disorder.”
Specifically, this bill will mandate that the Secretary of Health and Human Services conduct an interagency review of barriers to access and propose recommendations; make reports publicly available for transparency and accountability; conduct a public education and awareness campaign for women and girls with bleeding disorders; and much more.
“The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation is grateful to Representatives Johnson and Wilson for their leadership on the FED UP with Bleeding Disorders Act. For far too long, women and girls with bleeding disorders have been blocked from timely diagnosis, comprehensive care, and inclusion in clinical research,” said Dawn Rotellini, Chief Operating Officer of the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation. “This legislation will break down some of those barriers and will help provide the next generation of women and girls with a clearer, speedier path to diagnosis, access to appropriate medical treatment and care, and recognition of their lived experiences. This topic is a priority for NBDF, and we look forward to working with Congress to advance this important piece of legislation.”

Johnson’s VOTE Act Unanimously Passes House Administration Committee, Heads to House Floor
Position: The release announces committee passage of the VOTE Act, which would require minimum notification to voters of polling place changes, and argues that protecting access to the ballot and election information should be a priority. It also criticizes the elimination of countywide vote centers in Dallas County's March primary.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Julie Johnson (TX-32) announced that her Voter Outreach for Transparent Elections (VOTE) Act was unanimously passed out of the Committee on House Administration. This bill now heads to the House floor for a vote.
“In a Republican-controlled Congress, being an effective legislator means knowing how to build support, find common ground, and deliver meaningful results for North Texans. The unanimous passage of my VOTE Act out of committee proves that protecting Americans’ access to the ballot box and strengthening trust in our elections can and should rise above partisan politics,” said Johnson. “As we head into the upcoming midterm elections, it is critical that every eligible voter has clear, timely, and accurate information about when, where, and how to vote. Across the country, we have seen confusion around polling place changes and election administration create unnecessary barriers for voters. The VOTE Act is a commonsense step to help ensure voters are informed and prepared so their voices can be heard. I will continue working with anyone willing to protect the fundamental right to vote for every American.”
“Congresswoman Julie Johnson has shown what real leadership looks like by listening directly to Dallas County voters and local election leaders, taking our concerns seriously, and turning those conversations into legislative priorities,” said Kardal Coleman, Chair of the Dallas County Democratic Party. “After voter suppression tactics by local Republicans caused chaos during our March primary, Congresswoman Johnson brought voter’s concerns to the table, worked across the aisle, and moved the VOTE Act forward with unanimous and bipartisan committee support. That is the kind of responsiveness and coalition building it requires to meet this moment. People are hurting and our country needs fixing, However, our progress will depend on protecting access to the ballot box.”
“I am excited to see the progress on the VOTE Act,” said Dallas County Commissioner Andy Sommerman. “Julie has been incredibly responsive to the concerns raised by voters and community leaders following the March primary, and she turned those conversations into meaningful action. Great work, Congresswoman Johnson.”
Johnson’s legislation establishes clear, minimum notification requirements to ensure voters are promptly informed of any polling place changes, so no one is disenfranchised due to confusion or lack of notice. Committee passage of Johnson’s bill comes after Republicans worked to restrict ballot access in Dallas County’s March 3rd primary by eliminating countywide vote centers and requiring voters to cast ballots only in their assigned precincts on Election Day.
In April, Johnson joined Committee on House Administration Ranking Member Joe Morelle (NY-25) and local leaders from across Dallas County for a roundtable discussion in Dallas on the issues that occurred during the March 3 primary, while also building support for passage of Johnson’s VOTE Act in the House.

Johnson Introduces Bill to Advance Women’s Economic Security in South and Central Asia
Position: Introduces legislation to establish U.S. policy promoting women's economic security and advancement in South and Central Asia as part of foreign policy objectives, directing the Secretary of State to maintain and expand public-private Women's Councils and create a dedicated unit within the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Julie Johnson (TX-32) introduced the Enhancing Mobilization of Public-Private Organizations for Women’s Economic Rights (EMPOWER) Act. The legislation will establish U.S. policy to promote women’s economic security and advancement in South and Central Asia as an integral part of our foreign policy objectives in the region.
“We know that women’s labor force participation, asset ownership, and economic security are key drivers of poverty reduction and long-term stability, including in South and Central Asia. North Texas is home to a large and vibrant South and Central Asian community, and the connections between our region and that part of the world make this work even more meaningful,” said Johnson. “While the Trump administration has pursued a reckless culture war at the expense of our national security interests, Congress must remain committed to smart investments in global stability. This important bill strengthens the public-private partnerships and policy efforts of the State Department, reaffirming our commitment to advancing women’s economic mobility, employment, entrepreneurship, and access to education around the world.”
This bill would direct the Secretary of State to maintain and expand existing Women’s Councils and other public-private partnerships, such as the U.S.-Pakistan Women’s Council, U.S.-India Alliance for Women’s Economic Empowerment, and the Alliance for Afghan Women’s Economic Resilience. The Women’s Councils are consortia of public-private partnerships between the U.S. Department of State and U.S. and South Asian businesses, civil society, and universities, to matchmake technology, networks, expertise, and resources of our corporate and civil society members to create more impact together than any entity could alone.
Furthermore, the bill will establish within the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs a unit responsible for overseeing public-private partnerships by a Special Advisor for Women’s Economic Security who will report to the Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia. It also requires reports regarding the implementation of this bill, allocated personnel and funding, the status of commitments, a list of participating partners, and economic data on the impact of the Unit’s work.

Johnson Introduces Bill to Bolster Workforce Development for Community Health Centers
Position: Introduces legislation to establish an advisory committee on training within Community Health Centers to make federal health workforce training programs more effective, accountable, and responsive to community needs.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Julie Johnson (TX-32) introduced the Community Health Workforce Development Act. The legislation will establish a dedicated Advisory Committee on Training within Community Health Centers (CHC) to ensure that federal training programs are effective, accountable, and responsive to the needs of North Texas communities.
“North Texas is lucky to be home to multiple Community Health Centers and a dedicated health care workforce, but they are stretched too thin. During my health care roundtable in Dallas, I heard from the CHC community on all kinds of workforce-related challenges that they face, especially because they uniquely provide integrated services based on their communities’ needs. That became a clear mandate for my work in Congress,” said Johnson. “This bill is carefully crafted to include a range of health professions, patient representation, and geographic representation, and platform their perspectives with the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, and Veterans Health Administration leadership to make the changes we urgently need.”
Modeled after current Advisory Committees that have successfully elevated their respective issues, this committee would convene experienced health professionals and patient voices to provide input and guidance on workforce development in Community Health Centers. The committee would report to Congress and publicize findings on current training activities and needs, as well as recommendations to strengthen our health care workforce pipeline.
According to the Texas Association of Community Health Centers, Texas health centers currently employ over 16,300 Texans, train thousands of health care providers each year, and strengthen the Texas economy by providing an economic output of over $5 billion a year. They have provided primary care to one in 17 Texans, with the number of patients served increasing by 57 percent in the last ten years.

Johnson Introduces Bipartisan Bill to Advance U.S. Leadership in 6G and Protect National Security
Position: The bill expresses support for U.S. leadership in 6G telecommunications through diplomatic engagement, support for American companies, and coordination with allies to counter Chinese influence in international standards-setting bodies.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Julie Johnson (TX-32), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, along with Congresswoman Sheri Biggs (SC-03), introduced the USA 6G Global Leadership Act. The legislation will bolster the United States’ global leadership in 6G telecommunications technology, strengthen our national security, and counter strategic competition from China and other adversarial actors in emerging technology standards.
“The race to 6G is underway, and the United States cannot afford to fall behind. The USA 6G Global Leadership Act ensures that we—not our adversaries—set the standards while strengthening our national security and economic competitiveness,” said Johnson. “With leaders like Nokia, headquartered in Dallas, and major employers like AT&T and Samsung driving innovation across North Texas, our region is at the forefront of next-generation telecommunications. This bill builds on that strength by supporting American companies, investing in secure infrastructure, and working with our allies through international bodies to sustain our edge over China in the technologies that will define the future. If we want to lead the world in innovation, we must show up, compete, and win.”
“America cannot afford to fall behind in the race for next-generation communications,” said Congresswoman Sheri Biggs. “I’m proud to lead this effort alongside Congresswoman Julie Johnson to ensure the United States, not our adversaries, sets the standard for the future of global technology and protects our national security.”
6G is the next generation of wireless technology that will follow 5G, with rollout expected around 2030. It’s designed to deliver much faster speeds, near-instant response times, and more reliable connections. By using higher-frequency spectrum, 6G could power advanced technologies like AI-driven networks and other telecommunications methods.
Specifically, the legislation will:
Express the sense of Congress that the U.S. should leverage diplomatic and economic tools to support U.S. companies and counter Chinese-backed enterprises, including through engagement in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and other standards bodies, and cooperation with allies to promote trusted vendors and secure network infrastructure.
Task the Ambassador at Large for Cyberspace and Digital Policy with leading U.S. preparations for the 2026 ITU Plenipotentiary Conference and the 2027 World Radiocommunication Conference to coordinate across federal agencies to promote U.S.-aligned candidates for ITU leadership and advance U.S. priorities in international telecom standards and governance.
Require a 90‑day report to Congress analyzing Chinese and Russian efforts to influence ITU processes, promote digital repression, expand ITU’s mandate over internet governance, and leverage their nationals in ITU roles to advance geopolitical objectives.
Direct the State Department to support projects that strengthen U.S. global leadership in telecommunications infrastructure, particularly in developing countries, such as feasibility studies, development loans, direct investments, and other financial or technical assistance.
Require the State Department to submit, within 90 days, a comprehensive U.S. 6G global dominance strategy.
The legislation is expected to be marked up during a meeting of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. To read the full text of the legislation, click here.

Ranking Member Morelle, Congresswoman Julie Johnson, Host Roundtable on Protecting the Right to Vote in Dallas
Position: Ranking Member Morelle and Congresswoman Johnson support the Voter Outreach for Transparent Elections (VOTE) Act, which would establish federal minimum notification requirements for polling place changes to prevent voter confusion and disenfranchisement.
DALLAS, TX — On Monday, April 13, 2026, Ranking Member Joe Morelle (NY-25), the top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, held a roundtable discussion with Committee Member Congresswoman Julie Johnson (TX-32) focused on protecting the right to vote and assessing the Voter Outreach for Transparent Elections (VOTE) Act.
During the roundtable, Morelle and Johnson discussed with the experts how the VOTE Act would help improve our elections. The VOTE Act will establish clear, minimum notification requirements to ensure voters are promptly informed of any polling place changes, so no one is disenfranchised due to confusion or lack of notice. Committee Members also heard from experts about what federal support is needed for elections following voter suppression and widespread confusion during Dallas County’s primaries held in March.
“While Dallas County did everything in its power to inform voters about polling place changes, confusion was a predictable outcome. Some polling locations were not even publicized until the first day of early voting, forcing election administrators to operate on the fly in an incredibly short time frame,” said Ranking Member Morelle. “Congresswoman Johnson’s VOTE Act will solve this problem by creating a federal standard for voter notification, ensuring that voters are informed of polling place changes before the next election.”
“While Texas leads the nation in jobs, innovation, and opportunity, we are falling short when it comes to running fair and accessible elections. That’s why we brought together election administrators and experts in Dallas to hear directly from those on the front lines about what went wrong during the March 3rd primary,” said Congresswoman Julie Johnson. “Republicans changed the rules on Election Day, creating confusion, turning voters away, and ultimately leading to 1,700 ballots not being counted. This is part of a broader effort we’re seeing ahead of the 2026 midterms to make voting more difficult and discourage participation. That’s why I introduced the VOTE Act: to ensure transparency and fairness, so no voter loses their voice because politicians move the goalposts. Our democracy works best when every eligible voter has a clear and accessible path to cast a ballot, and I will always fight to protect that right.”
Local experts who joined the roundtable included Chair of the Dallas County Democratic Party Kardal Coleman, Vice Chair of the Dallas County Democratic Party Yasmin Simon, Dallas County Elections Administrator Paul Adams, Dallas County Commissioner Andy Sommerman, Texas State Representative Cassandra Garcia Hernandez, and Oak Lawn Election Judge David Fisher.
