Tom Johnson Discusses Appointment of New EEOC Chair with Bloomberg Law

November 12, 2026

Thomas M. Johnson, Jr., co-chair of the Issues and Appeals Practice, was quoted by Bloomberg Law regarding the new chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in the article, "Lucas’ Ascent in Trump’s Orbit Points to Emulating Thomas’ Path."

“I think Andrea’s getting very well-deserved recognition,” Johnson said. “There has been a tendency to serve in these positions as kind of night watchman in a sense, putting in your time, trying not to overstep your bounds, trying to prevent negative outcomes from happening, but not really advancing a positive vision. I think what Andrea does is both.”
