Tennessee House Representative Gloria Johnson lost her U-S Senate bid to incumbent Marsha Blackburn, who first won the seat in 2018. According to the Associated Press, Blackburn secured just over 64-percent of the vote. While Blackburn defeated Johnson in the U-S Senate Race, Johnson retained her District 90 house seat after running uncontested.

She shared with WUOT her plans for the general assembly.
