Lance Gooden, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 5th district, has recently shared his perspectives on American leadership and national issues through social media posts. Gooden, who has been serving in Congress since 2019 after replacing Jeb Hensarling, often uses these platforms to express his views on various topics.
On December 7, 2024, Gooden tweeted about the resurgence of American leadership on the global stage. He stated: "American leadership is back on the world stage."
The following day, December 8, 2024, Gooden addressed concerns over fiscal policies. He tweeted: "Interest on the national debt cost taxpayers more than $1 trillion in FY24. We can't afford not to implement DOGE reforms. America's future is at stake." This statement underscores his concern for the economic burden posed by national debt.
Later that day, Gooden criticized immigration policies under President Biden's administration. He posted: "The Biden Administration has flown 530,000 illegal aliens into America from foreign countries. If Joe Biden can fly illegal aliens into America, President Trump can send them back on a one-way ticket." This tweet reflects his stance on immigration and support for former President Trump's policies.
