Editing Nancy Johnson (section)

=== Ideology ===
Johnson is a [[Rockefeller Republican|moderate Republican]]. She called herself "an independent voice in Washington",<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/running-away-from-bush-and-foley/|title = Running Away from Bush and Foley|website = [[CBS News]]| date=October 8, 2006 }}</ref> although she frequently supported the mainstream Republican agenda. Some nonpartisan observers such as [[National Journal]] rated her near the ideological midpoint in the House, although others, like the [[American Conservative Union]] (ACU) rated her as a moderate conservative. The ACU gave Johnson's 2005 voting record 40 points out of 100; the liberal [[Americans for Democratic Action]] gave her 35 points.  In general, she was moderate-to-liberal on social issues and conservative on economic ones.

Johnson is a member of several socially moderate Republican groups including [[The Wish List (political organization)|The Wish List]], The [[Republican Main Street Partnership]], [[Republicans for Choice]], the Republican Majority for Choice, and Republicans for Environmental Protection, now known as [[ConservAmerica]], although she has supported many elements of President [[George W. Bush]]'s agenda and the agenda of conservative House leaders.{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}}

In 1998, Johnson voted for two of the four [[impeachment of Bill Clinton|articles of impeachment]] then-President [[Bill Clinton]]—the only member of the Connecticut delegation to support Clinton's impeachment.

In 2003, Johnson voted with the House Democrats to oppose [[Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act]]. The bill was passed by a large majority 281–142 on October 2, 2003.

In 2006, Johnson attracted considerable controversy after voting against a Republican budget reconciliation bill that passed the House by two votes. She was one of 14 moderate Republicans who crossed party lines to side with Democrats against it.
