Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson has received a 100% score from Human Rights Campaign for her support of LGBT issues in the 113th Congress.
Congresswoman Johnson earned a 100% score from Human Rights Campaign based on her active support of key legislation including the Student Non-Discrimination Act, Respect of Marriage Act, Employment Non-Discrimination Act, the Nader Amendment to the FY 2015 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act, and an LGBT inclusive reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act which represents the first time Congress has passed a non-discrimination law that protects LGBT Americans.
"I am proud to have once again received a 100% Score from Human Rights Campaign. I believe that every American deserves fair treatment under the law regardless of his or her gender, race, religion or sexual orientation and I will continue to advance pro-equality policies and legislation important to LGBT Americans." - Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
