He served on the House Committees on Appropriations, Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence, Licensing & Administrative Procedures and House Administration.

Rep. Gooden attended Trinity Valley Community College, and after earning two degrees from the University of Texas in Finance and Government, he went to work as an insurance broker for energy and energy-related companies, negotiating for them in the insurance marketplace and helping to protect them from lawsuits and other business risks.

He served as a business development consultant and is proud to call Kaufman County home. He’s active on the board of the Terrell Share Center and is committed to making the Terrell community a better place to live, work and raise a family.

Today, Rep. Gooden has been elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, and serves as a Co-Chair for our Congressional Future Caucus.
