Abilene, Texas — Bernard Johnson, the Libertarian candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Texas' 19th Congressional District, has partnered with United Sovereign Americans and Citizens Defending Freedom to file a lawsuit against Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. The lawsuit alleges deficiencies in the verification of identity and eligibility for over 1.3 million voter registrants, as well as the authorization of nearly 200,000 potentially illegal votes during the 2022 general election.

Bernard Johnson, an accomplished educator, cryptocurrency investor, and part-time Uber driver, is campaigning for Congress with a focus on enhancing education and supporting small businesses. He holds a Master's degree in Education, has expertise in conflict resolution, and has dedicated his career to special education, including work in the federal healthcare sector.

Johnson’s campaign prioritizes the following essential issues:

1. Education: Johnson advocates for parental, educator, and student involvement in educational decisions rather than legislative interference. He supports alternative education options and career technical learning that align with community industrial needs.

2. Economic Development: Johnson emphasizes the importance of entrepreneurship and small businesses, advocating for a governmental approach that facilitates rather than impedes individuals’ aspirations for business ownership.

Johnson's decision to participate in the lawsuit reflects his unwavering commitment to ensuring fair and transparent elections, which he considers a cornerstone of democracy.

In his own words, Bernard Johnson stated:

"As a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, I am profoundly concerned about the integrity of our elections. Every Texan deserves accurate representation of their vote, and I am dedicated to advocating for transparent and dependable election processes."

He further noted:

"The allegations presented in this lawsuit are serious and demand urgent attention. The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy, and we must protect it vigorously. I encourage all Texans to unite in our demand for accountability from our election officials."

Voters in Texas' 19th Congressional District face a vital decision in the upcoming election. While incumbent Republican Jodey Arrington currently holds the seat, Johnson presents a unique perspective and a commitment to addressing the community's most pressing issues.

With the stakes at an all-time high, the outcome of this lawsuit could have substantial implications for the 2024 elections. Ensuring every vote is counted accurately and fairly is not just a legal obligation, but a moral responsibility. Bernard Johnson’s participation in this legal action illustrates his dedication to upholding democratic principles and safeguarding voters' rights.
