Candidate for U.S. Congress (TX-12)
As a 5th generation Texan and a 4th generation native of Fort Worth, State Representative Craig Goldman is extremely proud of his family roots. The Goldman family has been actively involved in the Fort Worth and Tarrant County community for over 100 years. It is this passion for his home and heart for service that led him to run for State Representative in 2012.
Craig has a long record of authoring and working to pass sweeping legislation that has made Texas the national model for conservative governance. In the Texas House, he has worked to secure historic funding to secure the Texas border, pass the largest property tax cut in Texas history, defend the Second Amendment, protect the unborn, ensure religious freedoms, and fight liberal attempts to defund the police. Because he is so well respected among his GOP House colleagues, they elected him to Chair the Texas House Republican Caucus.
Before taking office, Craig experienced a career in both the political and business fields. He spent over two decades working on campaigns to help elect Republicans at the local, state, and national levels. Then, for nearly a decade he worked alongside his father at a family run gourmet food and wine store in Fort Worth.
When Craig wins election to the U.S. House of Representatives, he will become the third Jewish Republican to serve in the upcoming Congress.
