I am proud to endorse him, and I urge all Texans across Congressional District 12 to join me in supporting him for the United States Congress."

“The strong, robust Texas economy didn’t happen by accident. It was built by conservative champions like Craig Goldman, who stood his ground against liberal Democrats to pass policies in support of taxpayers and hard working families. Craig has been a staunch advocate for tough border security measures, a defender of the Second Amendment and the unborn, and a strong ally of law enforcement as they work to keep us safe. We need my friend Craig Goldman in Congress to continue those fights, and I plan to help him get there.”
Former U.S. Senator Phil Gramm
“The main reason I am for Craig Goldman and why I am so committed to help him win is I believe he will make a difference in our lives. Craig Goldman is a person who can get things done, but of equal importance he knows what needs to be done. We need people like Craig to go to Washington, D.C. to represent our values. This country can be so much better if we elect a person like Craig Goldman. I know Craig Goldman about as well as anyone does, he worked with me for many years. Craig Goldman is a true conservative who wants less government and more freedom.”
Congresswoman Kay Granger
"One of my great honors in serving this district has been my work to strengthen our national defense, especially given that thousands of men and women here in CD 12 play a critical role in fulfilling that mission. Craig Goldman understands that in a world of growing international threats from countries such as Iran, Russia, and China, we must ensure a safe and secure America. As the next congressman for this district, I trust Craig to be a staunch advocate for a strong national defense.”
Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker
“I can’t tell you how excited I am that Craig Goldman has stepped forward to run for Congress. Craig has been a champion of cutting property taxes, securing the border, standing up for law enforcement against the ‘Defund the Police’ crowd all while leading with integrity. With Craig Goldman as our Congressman, District 12 will have a highly effective leader who will fight for our community and serve as an excellent representative for our city in the nation’s capital. I will be working very hard to ensure that Craig Goldman is the next 12th District Congressman, and I urge you to join me in that effort.”
Senator Kelly Hancock
“I’m pleased to announce my endorsement of Craig Goldman for Congress. He is a consistent conservative, humble and authentic. The district I represent – SD 9 – is the only state senate district wholly contained within Tarrant County, and for years Craig and I have teamed up to fight for this region’s interests and values. With his deep Fort Worth community roots and conservative record, I know he will work to keep Tarrant County as a Republican stronghold. I look forward to having Craig as our next 12th District Congressman.”
Senator Phil King
“I am strongly endorsing Craig Goldman for Congress. I first met Craig years ago when he worked for Senator Phil Gramm, long before we were in the Legislature. Since then, we’ve worked together to advance conservative principles. I know Craig to be a strong pro-life advocate, committed to border security, and a passionate defender of Israel. Terry and I have traveled to Israel with Craig when Lockheed delivered the first F-35. Most recently, in light of the brutal attacks by Hamas, we collaborated on a joint House/Senate resolution making clear that Texas stands with Israel, a resolution now considered the national model for states. Terry and I have known Craig Goldman for many years, and we are proud to endorse our longtime friend.”
Senator Drew Springer
“Craig Goldman will be a fantastic Congressman, and I strongly urge my Parker County constituents to support him. On every major conservative battle across the years, Craig has been in the trenches with me and fellow Republicans, pushing for a conservative agenda: lower taxes, border security, election integrity, defending life, education reform, and combatting a long list of liberal policies that endanger our children. Craig Goldman is the highly effective, principled conservative we need in Congress.”
Senator Brian Birdwell

“Craig Goldman has a proven conservative record which spans over a decade in the Texas House. He partnered with me as a strong advocate for increasing government transparency and accountability, and he personally authored important ethics reforms to stop politicians from cashing in as lobbyists immediately after leaving office. That’s the kind of character and leadership we need in our next 12th District Congressman.”
State Representative David Cook
“As our House Republican Caucus Chairman, Craig Goldman provided key leadership in ensuring major conservative victories on reducing property taxes, funding historic border security manpower and surveillance equipment, and ensuring a strong Texas economy. We need his conservative leadership working for us in Washington, D.C.”
State Representative Charlie Geren
“As we choose our next Congressman, there is no one better prepared to hit the ground running and fight for our local interests than Craig Goldman. Fort Worth, Tarrant County and the entire congressional district will benefit from Craig’s priorities including a strong national defense, supporting lower taxes, rolling back regulations, and demanding that Washington step up, do their job, and finally secure the border. That’s a tall order, but I know Craig is up to the job, and he has my support.”
State Representative Stephanie Klick
“Craig Goldman is a Fort Worth original who is prepared to be an impact player for our district. His life experience in public service and his background in small business will serve us well. We came into the Texas House together, and I’ve watched him author and pass important legislation to stop fentanyl abuse, block cities from defunding the police, empower law enforcement to stop sexual predators, and much more. As a former Tarrant County GOP Chair I know the importance of electing leaders who can effectively articulate our party’s conservative agenda, and Craig Goldman will do a great job in that capacity.”
Tarrant County Commissioner Manny Ramirez
“For more than a decade Craig Goldman has been unwavering in his commitment to serve the citizens of North Texas. As a leading Conservative State Representative, Craig has proven time and again that when we need someone to fight for public safety, lower taxes, and common sense government, that he will step up and do the job. Craig has been a trusted ally in Austin and a dependable friend in Fort Worth. I know Craig will serve us well in Congress and I look forward to working with him to improve the lives of all Texas families.”
Former State Representative Matt Krause
"As residents of CD 12, Jennie and I are proud to endorse Craig Goldman for Congress! I had the pleasure of serving alongside Craig for ten years in the Texas House. During that time, I was able to witness firsthand how hard he worked for his constituents. Not only is he hard working, but incredibly smart and strategic. We need those traits in our next Congressman. Craig also supported the strongest pro-life bill in the state’s history, the strongest 2nd Amendment bill in the state’s history, the strongest election integrity bill in the state’s history, and the strongest border security measures in Texas history. We can trust Craig to do the same in Washington. Jennie and I hope you will join us in supporting Craig Goldman for CD 12!”
