Rep. Gooden Press Office

The CLARITY Act just advanced despite heavy opposition from Wall Street banks desperate to protect their financial cartel. Big banks should not decide where Americans put their money. Let competition win.

Taxpayers deserve leaders who fight to grow their pockets, not the governments'. Honored to receive the 2025 @NTU Taxpayers’ Friend Award for championing lower taxes, limited government, and economic freedom.

Failed assassins should not be given a legal discount. It's time our laws treat them as the assassins they intended to be. More in my @DailyCaller oped highlighting my bill, the Protect the Presidency Act. dailycaller.com/2026/05/13/sto…

Mexican rail crews should not be operating deep inside the United States while bypassing American workers and safety standards. My Protecting American Railroad Workers Jobs Act closes this loophole to put American jobs and border security first. washingtonreporter.news/exclusive-rep-…

Organized retail crime is mob theft fueled by Democrats' soft-on-crime policies and liberal DAs. This police week, I’m proud to be a cosponsor the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act that supports our officers working to crack down on these criminals.

Big banks are trying to kill stablecoins to smother competition and protect their financial cartel. Let Americans decide where to put their money, not Wall Street. Pass the CLARITY Act.

Attempted assassins should face the same punishment as successful ones. That’s why I introduced the Protect the Presidency Act to make attempted presidential assassins eligible for the death penalty. The law must show no leniency for those who try to murder the President.

Texas spent $11 billion during Operation Lone Star defending its own border because Biden hung us out to dry. I support @RepArrington's resolution to ensure states are never left defenseless again.

Funding DHS was important, but now funding ICE and CBP is mission critical. We must deliver for the brave agents carrying out President Trump’s agenda to secure our border and enforce our laws.

The House-passed Farm bill delivers on two key priorities for Texans: 1. Investing in farmers and rural communities 2. ⁠Cutting billions in waste, fraud, and abuse in nutrition programs

Dallas native Trey Carlock was silenced by an NDA, unable to speak out against his abusers. He committed suicide in 2019. NDAs should never be a shield for child abuse. Proud to cosponsor @RepBrandonGill’s TREY's Law to restore survivors' voices and hold abusers accountable.

This week, @SecWar confirmed the Pentagon is exploring uses for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in national defense. It’s a technology, not just an asset.
