Tyler Johnson

Johnson voted YEA on SB 1 (2025), the $1.3 billion property tax relief bill that passed 27–22 (Source 3). He voted YEA on SB 1 (2026), the Medicaid and SNAP immigration verification bill (Source 10). The Freedom Index rates him at 67% in the 2025–2026 sessions and 61% cumulatively, indicating general alignment with fiscal-conservative criteria though not at the highest tier.

Johnson voted YEA on HB 1032 (2025 special session), the mid-cycle redistricting bill; he was among the 19 senators who supported the bill and was subsequently endorsed by Trump for this position (Source 4, Source 11). He co-authored SB 289 (2025), which restricts DEI offices and training in state agencies and schools (Source 14). Trump's endorsement cited him as committed to "cut taxes and regulations" (Source 11).

Johnson voted YEA on HB 1084 (2024), the Second Amendment Privacy Act, which passed 39–9 with all Republicans voting YEA (Source 8). Trump's endorsement specifically cited Johnson's commitment to defending the Second Amendment (Source 11). The Freedom Index votes page confirms his YEA on the 2A Privacy Act as a pro-liberty vote.

Johnson is the primary author of SB 236 (2026), the abortion-inducing drug ban. On the Senate floor he stated: "In a post-Dobbs era, Indiana has chosen life. This bill reinforces that choice by defining abortion clearly and providing civil tools to enforce our laws" (Source 13). He also stated: "Senate Bill 236 is a vital measure to protect the sanctity of life in Indiana. At its core, the bill clarifies and strengthens our state's commitment to the unborn by establishing meaningful accountability for those who seek to undermine that commitment" (Source 13). The bill passed 35–10 on January 27, 2026 (Source 5). The IFI 2025 scorecard rates him 100% (Source 2).

Johnson co-authored SB 289 (2025), the DEI Prohibition in Education bill, specifically contributing language barring state agencies and colleges from funding DEI offices or employees and allowing the attorney general to sue for violations (Source 14). He voted YEA on SB 143 (2025), Parental Rights as Fundamental Right (Source 6), and YEA on HB 1041 (2025), Save Women's College Sports (Source 9). The IFI 2025 scorecard rates him 100% (Source 2).
