Lance Gooden, currently representing Texas’s 5th district in the U.S. Congress, has voiced his opinions on social and economic matters through several tweets. His statements reflect dissatisfaction with certain legislative and enforcement actions, alongside comments on economic policies under the Biden administration.
In a tweet posted on March 28, 2025, Gooden criticized the American Bar Association for their lack of response to various legal actions involving former President Trump. “The American Bar Association was silent during the bogus indictments, the Mar-a-Lago raid, ballot removal attempts, and every other instance when President Trump was being persecuted by rogue attorneys. Now they decide to condemn? Shameful.”
Another tweet from the same day reflects on the challenges faced by the American automotive industry. Specifically, Gooden remarked on financial losses and job reductions while contrasting current policies against those of the previous administration: “’Ford lost $5 billion on EVs in 2024′ ‘General Motors to cut 1,300 workers across two factories’ ‘Automaker Stellantis lays off hundreds of American workers’ These headlines describe the American auto industry under Joe Biden. President Trump’s auto tariffs will bring jobs.”
Later that day, Gooden addressed a complex situation involving law enforcement personnel in Rochester, NY. He suggested federal funding consequences should city officials decide to dismiss officers who collaborated with Border Patrol agents: “Police officers in Rochester, NY, assisted Border Patrol agents during an emergency traffic stop on Monday. Officials in the sanctuary city are contemplating firing the officers for their actions. Rochester should receive $0.00 in federal funding going forward.”
