I have mixed opinions on Mrs. Johnson. On one hand, she's a legitimate Texas trailblazer and earned her spot in politics the hard way. She was one of the first black women to enter politics in Texas and did so only five years after Civil Rights. She's also legitimately popular in her district and importantly to me is actually from Texas. On the other hand, she is a generic corrupt Democrat. The only time she got caught was when she gave out Black Caucus scholarships to relatives and associates, but if I know anything about Dallas politics that was just a case of her being too blatant to ignore. I give her props for being consistently anti-intervention, but she played a lot of partisan games when it came to voting laws and is atrocious on border control.
Congratulations are in order for her accomplishments (and condolences for being the target of GOP gerrymandering), but it's high time she got replaced by another corrupt DNC apparatchik. Thirty years is too long to have occupied a single office in my opinion.
