Here at Team Johnson, we’re strong advocates for infrastructure.
That goes beyond just physical infrastructure — roads & bridges, housing, the grid, and the like — though we’ve also been at the forefront of those efforts. It also means investing in intangible infrastructure: social infrastructure like education and healthcare that ensures accessibility and governance infrastructure that promotes greater responsiveness from state agencies.
Last week, Senator Johnson filed a series of bills relating to critical areas of infrastructure designed to address the needs of our rapidly growing state. Before diving into the details of the new bills, let’s take a look at some pressing issues Senator Johnson has recently addressed in the news.

What unites accessible healthcare, affordable housing, and good governance? Infrastructure.
As Senator Johnson told the Texas Metro News last week:
“Texas is growing and changing rapidly, in ways both predictable and unpredictable. New growth requires new investment, and change requires new strategies and evolving priorities. The bills I filed today propose new investment in fundamental systems and shift priorities towards those that will allow us to meet the demands and avail of the opportunities of that growth and change.”
That’s infrastructure, and it’s what every Texas legislator should be focused on.
Effective state leaders like Nathan are now the last line of defense we Texans have when it comes to fighting for common-sense policy, and your support is critical.
