Jarvis Johnson

Jarvis Diallo Johnson (born September 27, 1971) is an American entrepreneur and politician currently serving in the Texas House of Representatives.

In 2005, Johnson ran for Houston City Council District B, a seat held by term limited Carol Mims Galloway.

[11] Jackson Lee was in her third term on the Houston City Council in 1994 when she beat incumbent U.S. Representative Craig Washington on the theme that he was out of touch with his district.

Since he was unopposed in November 2016, Johnson winning the special election and runoff meant he was the District 139 state representative who would succeed Sylvester Turner.

[17] For three consecutive legislative sessions (in 2019, 2021, and 2023), Johnson filed bills to end Confederate Heroes Day as a state holiday.

[19][20] Johnson announced his campaign for the Texas Senate in the 15th district, the seat vacated by incumbent Democrat John Whitmire upon winning the 2023 Houston mayoral election.
