Andrew Johnson completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Johnson's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I am highly qualified for this appellate seat because I have been an appellate attorney for almost seventeen years, have been Board Certified in Civil Appellate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization for over one decade, and have over five years of experience working as an attorney on the Houston Courts of Appeals.
- I’m a textualist and believe an appellate judge’s role is to interpret the law as written, to be neutral and give no favoritism to any party, and to avoid legislating from the bench.
- In my private-practice role as an appellate specialist, I have worked on a wide array of appeals and mandamus proceedings before the Texas Courts of Appeals. I will utilize as an appellate justice the legal researching, writing, brainstorming, and problem-solving I have successfully developed for ten years in private practice.
