Priorities
Vikki Goodwin focuses on the issues that matter. She believes we must adequately fund education, prioritize clean water for Texas families, make housing more affordable, and ensure access to comprehensive healthcare.

Too many teachers are leaving the profession, and too few college students are choosing to go into teaching. Low pay, excessive paperwork, constant testing and safety concerns are some of the factors causing teachers to leave. Meanwhile, the recently-passed Voucher program threatens to pull billions of dollars out of public education to unaccountable private schools for the wealthy.
-
Access to water is an issue which should unite all Texans. But after decades of neglect, many in the current leadership want to spend billions on water projects to enable big-tech data centers, instead of prioritizing drinking water for families. We certainly should look to improve our water infrastructure, but gains can also be found in common-sense conservation and re-use policies.
-
Every Texan deserves the opportunity to own a home. Meanwhile, rent prices should be stable and affordable so young Texans can save and one day purchase a home of their own. Property taxes and insurance costs need to be reined in, ensuring that people on fixed incomes are not forced out of their homes.

Keeping Texans healthy is critical for a thriving state. Rep. Goodwin knows ensuring Texans have access to quality, affordable healthcare is essential, as is the ability to access the full spectrum of reproductive healthcare.
