State Rep. Vikki Goodwin will speak at the Burnet County Democratic Club meeting May 18 at Texas Tech University at Highland Lakes, 806 Steve Hawkins Parkway in Marble Falls. Goodwin is considering a run for lieutenant governor in 2026.
The Sunday event starts at 2 p.m. and is open to the public.
Goodwin is a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives, currently serving her fourth term representing District 47, which includes parts of Travis County. She has been a vocal critic of Gov. Greg Abbott’s $1 billion private school voucher plan.
Goodwin’s campaign centers on protecting public education, defending human rights, increasing affordability and access to healthcare, childcare, and housing, and ensuring responsible stewardship of state resources. She champions the Empowering Texans Ballot Initiative Act, which would give voters a direct voice in shaping Texas laws and policies that affect their daily lives.
Goodwin holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Texas at Austin and an Master of Public Administration from UT’s LBJ School of Public Affairs. She is also a small-business owner and real estate broker with deep community ties.
