“In times like these, our community doesn’t need empty promises, we need proven leadership that delivers results,” said Rep. Goodwin. “I’m running for re-election to keep fighting for safer neighborhoods, lower property taxes, and real solutions for working families. We must end reckless driving, fix our streets, and protect our neighborhoods.”
