The Lieutenant Governor is by most measures the most powerful office in Texas' state government structure. With full control over the agenda of the state Senate, nothing gets through our legislative process without the Lt. Governor's approval - so, placing a Democrat in that position would signal a fundamental change in the Legislature's ongoing and intolerable reality.

Austin State Rep. Vikki Goodwin has been running for this critical office for the better part of a year - and Progress Texas has proudly endorsed her as a highly experienced and dedicated pro who would be perfect to help turn things around in Texas. The James Talarico race is important of course, and getting a lot of attention - but Rep. Goodwin's race (and that of State Rep. Gina Hinojosa for Governor) are of even more dire and direct impact in Austin, and are thus worth the attention of Texas voters looking for change.
