Press Release: Drew Johnson issues statement calling for an official Impeachment Inquiry by the House of Representatives

August 31, 2023

Las Vegas, NV – Today, Nevada congressional candidate Drew Johnson issued the following statement calling for a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to authorize an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

Joe Biden’s presidency has been one of the most scandal-plagued in modern political history. As a government watchdog, I am deeply disturbed by the mounting allegations against the President.  Today, I am calling on House leadership to authorize an impeachment inquiry vote so there can be a proper investigation into the role he played in his son’s business dealings both while he was President and Vice President.”

Johnson, running in Nevada’s 3rd congressional district, is the first federal candidate in the state to call for an official House impeachment inquiry. He is a longtime and well-known government watchdog who has fought for government transparency, saving Americans billions of dollars by exposing wasteful government spending, and uncovering corruption that led to the removal of unethical lawmakers and bureaucrats from office.

Nevada’s 3rd congressional district is considered one of the nation’s top-tier swing districts and is listed as a key pick-up opportunity for Republicans.

Press Release: Nevada Assemblywoman Jill Dickman Endorses Drew Johnson for Congress

August 22, 2023

Las Vegas, NV – Today, Nevada Assemblywoman and Co-Deputy Minority Floor Leader Jill Dickman announced her endorsement of Drew Johnson in his campaign for Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District.

“It is an honor for me to serve the people of Nevada as a leading conservative voice in our state legislature. To be honest, we need a lot of help in our state in electing more liberty-minded candidates who are committed to our shared beliefs of limited government and personal freedom. Drew Johnson is the principled conservative running in this congressional district, which is why so many Nevada conservatives support his candidacy. Every Republican campaigns as a conservative, but few have the backbone and fortitude to actually serve as one in office. Drew is the one candidate in this race conservatives can trust, and I hope you join me in supporting his candidacy.” – Assemblywoman Jill Dickman

“I am honored to have earned the endorsement of such a well-respected conservative legislator and leader in our party,” said Johnson. “Assemblywoman Dickman has an indisputable record of bold, consistent conservative leadership, and we are very lucky to have her fighting for us in Carson City. She knows that I am the only proven conservative in this race and will beat Susie Lee this November, and I look forward to leaning on her for her valuable guidance and expertise throughout this campaign.”

Republican Drew Johnson is running to represent Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District. Drew was raised by a single mom in rural Appalachia. After finishing college and graduate school, he founded one of America’s most influential free-market think tanks. Johnson is a leading government watchdog, columnist, and advocate of low taxes, balanced budgets, school choice, a secure border, and personal freedom over government control.

Press Release: Frontrunner Drew Johnson Welcomes Liberal Assemblywoman Heidi Kasama to the Republican Primary for CD3

Drew Johnson offered his welcome to “Republican” Assemblywoman Heidi Kasama upon her entrance into the GOP primary for Nevada’s 3rd congressional district.

“I’ve made my career fighting for conservative principles as a government watchdog, exposing waste, fraud, and abuse of power. So, I look forward to exposing Assemblywoman Kasama’s liberal record in this primary,” said Johnson.

Press Release: Frontrunner Drew Johnson Welcomes Liberal Assemblywoman Heidi Kasama to the Republican Primary for CD3

August 21, 2023

Las Vegas, NV – Today, Drew Johnson offered his welcome to “Republican” Assemblywoman Heidi Kasama upon her entrance into the GOP primary for Nevada’s 3rd congressional district.

“I’ve made my career fighting for conservative principles as a government watchdog, exposing waste, fraud, and abuse of power. So, I look forward to exposing Assemblywoman Kasama’s liberal record in this primary,” said Johnson.

Kasama has recently come under fire after it was revealed that in 2018, while serving as a director for the National Association of Realtors PAC, she directed millions of dollars in contributions to far-left Democratic candidates and organizations. Kasama approved donations to the DNC, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Ilhan Omar, and even Susie Lee, the extremist liberal congresswoman Kasama is now suddenly and oddly running to replace.

“Kasama has always been considered the most liberal Republican in Nevada—a true ‘Republican in Name Only.’ But I never realized she was actively funneling money to socialist Democrats,” said Johnson. “It seems that Kasama believed in these causes so much that she even gave thousands of dollars of her own money to the PAC to be distributed among fringe leftists who attack everything Republicans believe in.”

Kasma was also recently mocked and criticized for introducing AB186, a bill that strictly prohibits restaurants from serving drinking water to patrons unless they specifically ask for it. The bill mimicked regulations passed by the California State Water Resources Control Board in 2015. The bill was ridiculed by conservative lawmakers and community leaders and received no other co-sponsors from either party.

Johnson, meanwhile, has spent 25 years working at limited government think tanks, media outlets, and advocacy organizations. Considered one of America’s most effective government watchdogs, Johnson frequently consults with lawmakers to develop policy solutions rooted in free markets, individual liberty, and personal responsibility.

Johnson is credited with saving taxpayers more than $60 billion by exposing wasteful and ineffective programs that were later eliminated. He also co-authored parental choice legislation that resulted in tens of thousands of children receiving a quality education. His efforts to remove excessive licensing burdens on low-income entrepreneurs empowered hundreds of Americans to live their American Dream.

“Because of my commitment to our principles, I’ve earned the endorsement of Nevada’s most well-respected conservatives, including State Controller Andy Matthews, Senator Jeff Stone, and Assemblywoman Danielle Gallant,” Johnson noted. “Our campaign will harness the support of Southern Nevadans who are tired of the government having too much power to win the primary in June and retire Susie Lee in November.”

Las Vegas – Today, longtime Nevada business leader, Assemblywoman, and Southern Co-Deputy Minority Floor Leader Danielle Gallant announced her endorsement of Drew Johnson in his campaign for Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District.

Fortunately, Nevada voters in CD3 have a great candidate who can defeat Susie Lee and restore sanity in Washington, and that candidate is Drew Johnson.”

I am grateful to have her on the team.”

Matthews urges support for fellow conservative Drew Johnson in this pivotal, top-tier congressional race.

May 8, 2023

Las Vegas – Today, Nevada State Controller Andy Matthews announced his endorsement of fellow conservative Drew Johnson in his campaign for Nevada’s 3rd congressional district.

Matthews, a former Nevada State Assemblyman and previous president of the Nevada Policy Research Institute, applauded Johnson’s work holding public officials accountable for wasteful government spending, corruption in office, and increasing the size and scope of the government at the expense of our taxpayers and their individual liberties.

“I’m proud to endorse my friend Drew Johnson for Congress, and I encourage Nevada voters in the 3rdcongressional district to help get him elected,” stated Controller Andy Matthews.

“Drew is not only a fellow conservative, but like me, he has dedicated much of his life to rooting out corruption and wasted tax dollars, while protecting our liberties and fighting to make government spending more transparent. In Congress, Drew will hold leaders in both parties accountable and will serve our state with honesty, integrity, and principled leadership.”

Johnson, like Matthews, previously served as president of a leading free market think tank, and worked at the National Taxpayers Union and Taxpayers Protection Alliance.

“I’m honored to earn the endorsement and full support of Andy Matthews, a leading conservative in our state. Andy has been a relentless leader in Nevada, fighting for more transparency in government and protecting the individual liberties we are all guaranteed in our Constitution. We both led limited government, pro-liberty public policy organizations that succeeded in promoting lower taxes, limiting government spending, and reducing the size and scope of government,” Drew Johnson said.

“I know Nevadans appreciate having Andy as our Controller responsibly overseeing our state’s checkbook. I’m thankful that Andy trusts me to fight to restore fiscal sanity in Washington.”

Last week, Republican Drew Johnson announced his campaign to represent Nevada residents of the 3rd congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. In addition to being one of America’s best-known and most-effective government watchdogs, Drew and his wife Sarah own and operate a small business and are both actively involved in trying to improve the quality of life for ordinary Nevadans.

Nevada’s 3rd congressional district is considered one of the nation’s top-tier swing districts and is listed as a key pick-up opportunity for Republicans.

Press Release: Republican Drew Johnson Launches Campaign for the 3rd Congressional District of Nevada​​

Drew Johnson — longtime government watchdog, think tank analyst, and small business owner — enters race to defeat Washington insider Susie Lee.

Press Release: Republican Drew Johnson launches campaign for the 3rd Congressional District of Nevada​

Longtime government watchdog, think tank analyst, and small business owner enters race to defeat Washington insider Susie Lee.

May 4, 2023

Las Vegas – Today, Republican Drew Johnson announced his campaign to represent Nevada residents of the 3rd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. In addition to being one of America’s best-known and most-effective government watchdogs, Drew and his wife Sarah own and operate a small business. They are actively involved in improving the quality of life for hardworking Nevadans.

Johnson has spent his career fighting to protect the individual liberties of all Americans, of all backgrounds. Through his work as a government watchdog, Johnson forced corrupt public officials from office and saved taxpayers billions of dollars by exposing wasteful government spending. As a policy analyst and scholar at public policy think tanks, his research has led to lower taxes, reduced regulations on small business owners, improved government transparency, and greater parental choice in education.

“Today, I am proud to launch our effort to help restore the basic, fundamental role of government for our citizens,” Johnson stated.  “Together, we will restore fiscal sanity in Washington. We will secure our southern border to stop the flow of violent cartels, human traffickers, and deadly Fentanyl into our communities. We will give every family from every background the same choice in where to send their kids to school that the wealthy and elite families enjoy today.”

“Susie Lee has come to exemplify Washington corruption. She defends an unaccountable, bloated federal government and adheres to an out-of-step, misguided progressive ideology that deprives Nevadans of our fundamental individual liberties,” Johnson continued. “She has increased taxes, voted for careless spending that spiked inflation, weakened our global reputation, and helped to create the alarming increase in crime that prevents Nevadans from feeling safe in their own communities. Worst of all, Lee has exploited her position in Congress to become even richer through shady insider stock trades while her constituents struggle in the tough economy she helped to create.”

“I believe that individuals make better decisions about their lives than government ever will. I’m proud to have spent 20 years working at think tanks, media outlets, and grassroots organizations fighting to empower people to live their American Dream. I will fight for commonsense solutions to crime, spending, and immigration while rooting out public corruption. It’s what all Nevadans deserve.” 

Johnson was raised in rural Appalachia by a single mom who worked two jobs to make ends meet. After college and graduate school, he lived in his car to start a successful nonprofit dedicated to promoting the principles of limited, accountable government. Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District is considered one of the nation’s top-tier swing districts and is listed as a key pick-up opportunity for Republicans.
