Lance Gooden, a U.S. Congress member representing Texas’ 5th district, took to social media recently to express his views on actions by President Donald Trump and to comment on the state of the Democratic Party. Gooden, who has been serving in Congress since 2019 and previously represented Texas in the state legislature, shared his thoughts through multiple tweets.
On April 28, 2025, Gooden commented on an expected executive order by President Trump targeting sanctuary cities. He remarked, “Today, President @realDonaldTrump will sign an executive order exposing sanctuary cities. Before Democrats pretend to be outraged, remember this: Joe Biden spoke out against sanctuary cities in 2007. This just shows how radical the Democrat Party has become.”
Later that day, Gooden praised Trump’s achievements within his latest term, noting several initiatives. At 18:00 UTC, he tweeted, “In just 100 days, President @realDonaldTrump ended the border crisis, cut wasteful spending, fought for fair trade, unleashed American energy, secured trillions in investment, brought hostages home, and restored peace through strength. This is only the beginning. “
On the following day, April 29, 2025, Gooden continued to express his support for the president’s leadership as evidenced by the outcomes of recent political actions. He stated, “In just 100 days of President @realDonaldTrump’s second term, the American people can confidently say: We are better off. Voters demanded bold change, and Trump is answering the call, one historic win at a time.”
Gooden, who graduated with a BA and a BBA from the University of Texas at Austin, underscores his commitment to the political trajectory under Trump, suggesting these efforts reflect substantial governmental and socioeconomic impacts. Gooden, born in Nashville and currently residing in Terrell, continues to advocate for the policies and executive decisions of the current administration.
