Biography
Rep. Vikki Goodwin is a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives, first elected in 2019 to represent District 47 in western Travis County, including portions of Austin, Bee Cave, and Lakeway, along with the communities of Barton Creek, Hudson Bend, Lost Creek, Shady Hollow, and Steiner Ranch. A real estate broker by profession, she earned both her Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Professional Accounting from the University of Texas at Austin.
Rep. Goodwin first won election to the Texas House in 2018, flipping a longtime Republican-held seat in the suburbs west of Austin. She has represented House District 47 across four consecutive legislative sessions and has built a legislative profile centered on public education, environmental and water policy, government transparency, and consumer protection.
For the 89th Legislative Session, Speaker Dustin Burrows appointed Rep. Goodwin to the House Committee on Appropriations — with a seat on the Subcommittee on Article III, which oversees the state’s public and higher education budget — and to the House Committee on Insurance.
