Press release
Republican Lance Gooden announced this week that he is seeking re-election to the State House where he currently represents the people of Henderson and Kaufman Counties. During his comments, Rep. Gooden pointed to several key legislative victories during the recently completed 85th legislative session that further the conservative agenda and benefit the hard-working families of this district.
“When I ran for this office two years ago, one of the things I stressed was the importance of having an effective, conservative leader working for us in Austin,” Rep. Gooden said. “It’s not enough to just talk the talk. Our representative in the legislature must be able to deliver – to pass good legislation that benefits our district and to stop bad bills that don’t. I’m proud to report to you today that we not only passed one of the most fiscally responsible budgets in Texas history, but that there are also new laws on the books to help secure the border, crack down on sanctuary cities, protect the 2nd Amendment, and expand the rights of private property owners. We also took care of our retired teachers by solidifying their healthcare program, killed legislation that would harm our public schools, passed several new pro-life pieces of legislation, and took the first meaningful steps toward reducing the property tax burden on all Texans.”
Rep. Gooden concluded, “This legislative session is a testament to the fact it is possible to keep taxes and spending low while also providing for the needs of our fellow Texans. It’s been an honor to, once again, serve my neighbors in the Texas House, and I am proud of the conservative results that we provided this session. It is on that record that I will stand for re-election next year.”
The 2018 Republican Primary election will be held on Tuesday, March 6th. To view Gooden’s video announcement to supporters, visit @lancegoodenfortexas on his Facebook page.
