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.
During the Trump Administration, Republican pro-growth policies unleashed a dynamic economy that led to the lowest unemployment in our nation’s history. By addressing burdensome regulations and supporting free market principles that promote private sector innovation and investment, we can return to an era of economic prosperity. I will continue to advocate for policies that prioritize American families and businesses over special interests and foreign governments.
