In State House District 13, SEIU Local 205 has endorsed Gloria Johnson.

Gloria is a retired teacher running for the seat she previously won in 2012. Gloria’s family has deep roots in East Tennessee, and she is a graduate of Knox County schools and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. In the past few years, Gloria has been a tireless advocate for improving our health care system to ensure that every family can see a doctor when they need one.

“As a teacher, healthcare advocate, and legislator, Gloria has shown a deep commitment to public service in East Tennessee. She has been tireless in working to improve the lives of those around her, and we need her voice back in the legislature,” said Tracy Fair, a Health Unit Coordinator and SEIU member from Knoxville.

The general election is on Tuesday, November 6 and the last day to register to vote in this cycle is October 9. For information on voter registration and polling locations, contact your local county election commission or visit the Tennessee Secretary of State website.
