Lance Gooden, a U.S. Congressman representing Texas’ 5th District, shared several statements on April 10, 2025, regarding economic and legislative issues. Gooden has been a member of Congress since he replaced Jeb Hensarling in 2019, having previously served in the Texas House of Representatives. He was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and currently resides in Terrell.

In one tweet posted at 16:35 UTC, Gooden highlighted a decline in inflation, stating, "Inflation has fallen below 3.0% for the first time since March 2021." He added that the decrease can be attributed to the election of a new President, claiming it is "the truth."

Later, at 18:45 UTC, Gooden addressed the No Rogue Rulings Act, explaining its importance in limiting the influence of Democrat-appointed judges who issue nationwide injunctions against President Trump's policies. He asserted, "We must ensure that one rogue judge can't undermine the will of the American people!"

Gooden further commented on the possible impact of not extending the Trump tax cuts at 20:06 UTC. He referenced a potential tax increase for families: "An average family of four will see a $1,700 tax hike." He criticized the Democrats' position on this issue, expressing skepticism towards their previous concern over high egg prices in contrast to their stance on taxes.

Gooden, 40, is a graduate of the University of Texas, Austin, where he earned a BA and a BBA. More on Gooden's political career and background.
