Career
In 2023, the Tennessee House voted on motions to remove three sitting Democratic representatives — Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones, and Justin J. Pearson — for disrupting proceedings with a protest as demonstrators were at the capitol voicing their outrage over a mass shooting at a Nashville school that left six dead.[3] Moon voted in favor of all three resolutions: HR 63, to remove Pearson;[4] HR 64, to remove Johnson;[5] and HR 65, to remove Jones.[6] Pearson and Jones were expelled, while Johnson was not.[7]
