Meet Vikki Goodwin

Vikki Goodwin is a four-term state lawmaker and the newly-elected Lt. Governor of Texas.

She is a passionate supporter of Texas public schools and campaigned on tackling affordability, fixing our broken healthcare system, and planning for our future water and energy needs.

On January 19, 2027 she will be inaugurated as the first woman Lt. Governor in Texas history.

She will be President of the Senate, with powers to influence the legislature and co-create the state budget.

Vikki grew up in Dallas, where her mother served on the Dallas school board, and moved to Austin to study at UT. She has a Bachelors and a Masters from the LBJ School of Public Affairs.

She made Austin her home after college — raising her children, starting a real estate business, and volunteering extensively.

When she decided to run for office in 2018, she flipped a West Austin district blue, and has served her community in the Texas House ever since.

“We the people” means ALL people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, birthplace, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, reading habits, sports team… or any other box people try to sort us into.

I will always treat every Texan with
dignity, compassion and respect.

— Lt. Governor-elect Goodwin
