First elected in 2018, Congressman Lance Gooden represents Texas’ 5th District in the U.S. House of Representatives. The 5th District stretches from Dallas County to Cherokee, Henderson, Kaufman, Anderson, Van Zandt and Wood Counties.
In the 117th Congress, Congressman Gooden is a member of the House Committee on Financial Services. Prior to joining the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Gooden served three terms in the Texas House of Representatives and worked in the insurance industry for 10 years.
Texas farmers and ranchers help feed the nation and drive ag innovations across the globe, but liberal policies that promote overregulation and imports threaten domestic production. I will always fight to support family farms, protect private property rights, and ensure Texans can continue our rich tradition of living off the land.
