Ann Johnson

That was, those were state legislatu- legislators.

You know, uh, Ann Johnson, you know, uh, Troy, uh, uh, Fisher Martinez, these are state folks.

Because they realized what their power is in the state, and that power then has a direct impact on the federal legislation because of the numbers that we have in terms of, of congressional districts.

So, because, uh ...

That was in reverse order.

That was Senator Ann Johnson from Texas, State Senator Ann Johnson.

She was on our show last year after the Texas delegation came here to Chicago and to Illinois.

And prior to that was candidate Angie Nixon in Florida.

Uh-

So why aren't they getting things done, right?

St- uh, State Senator, uh, Ann Johnson, uh, Texas state senator.

Yeah, she's great.

It turned out well.

And I think State Representative Ann Johnson's speech was one of the best, saying that when she was young and that she saw that rainbow crossing there, it just made a world of difference to her to understand her community was there.

Yeah.

Well, the thing with the Rainbow Crosswalk, it happens so quickly.

You as well.

Uh, [laughs] yeah, speaking of things that are not as important as maybe one might think they should be, um, she's been with us before, um, Ann Johnson in Texas, one of the state reps there, had something to say about, um, where we should be focused right now.

Which one? Ann Johnson from Texas.

Andrew Nixon or Ann Johnson? No, no, Ann Johnson.

Tech- um, on voting in Tech.

Um, no, we don't have that one? I didn't see that one.

And there were politicians.

I'm pretty sure it was Ann Johnson.

There were people who showed up as your average concerned citizen to say, wait a minute, we're taking gender and sexuality out of classes, but we're going to have these here.

How are teachers actually supposed to keep their job going? In explaining these things to the kids, but also at the same time, when you have hate policies, not explain any of these things to kids.

I'm going to put that on your gravestone.

So the next one we had was Cassie moderated a panel of House members, Ann Johnson, Eddie Morales, Shelby Slauson, and Cody Vasut.

Two Republicans, two Democrats on the dynamics of the House.

Nobody predicted that the Democrats would win the chamber, though.
