Rep. Goldman Applauds Major Agreement for Fort Worth F-35 Program
Position: The release applauds a 10-year framework agreement between the Department of War and Lockheed Martin for F-35 production and sustainment, citing defense capability and economic benefits for Fort Worth. It notes the agreement is pending congressional authorization and appropriations.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Craig Goldman (R-TX) applauds the new 10-year F-35 program investment framework agreement between the Department of War and Lockheed Martin, strengthening America's military capabilities while driving economic growth in Fort Worth.
“America’s military must remain unmatched to keep our enemies at bay and our allies safe. I am delighted that the Department of War is prioritizing long-term funding for the elite Lockheed Martin F-35 program. This agreement supports thousands of jobs across Texas’ 12th Congressional District and strengthens our defense inventory,” said Congressman Craig Goldman. “Continued support for this program will fuel Fort Worth’s economy, create new opportunities for hardworking Texans, and equip our military with the cutting-edge technology needed to defend our freedoms.”
"This multiyear framework strengthens the way we can plan and invest in the F-35 enterprise," said Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and CEO Jim Taiclet. "With the greater certainty that comes from the U.S. government's transformative approach to F-35 production and sustainment, we can make the upfront investments needed to expand capacity, improve efficiency, and build a more resilient supply chain. That's good for the taxpayer, good for our suppliers and, most importantly, good for the United States and its allies."
Background
Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II program is a critical part of the Fort Worth economy, supporting over 49,000 jobs and generating an estimated $9 billion in economic impact each year.
The new 10-year framework agreement with the Department of War outlines plans for 850 fighter jets and continued production of 156 aircrafts annually, providing long-term stability for Fort Worth's defense manufacturing workforce. The agreement also aims to strengthen supply chains, reduce production costs, and save taxpayers billions of dollars, pending congressional authorization and appropriations.

Reps. Goldman, Arrington, Steube Introduce Bill to Counter the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Regulations on American Businesses
Position: The release supports introducing the Stop EU Overreach Act, which would direct the USTR to investigate whether EU sustainability and environmental regulations (CSDDD, CSRD, EUDR, CBAM) burden U.S. businesses and to identify remedies. The sponsors oppose these EU requirements as extraterritorial overreach.
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Reps. Craig Goldman (TX-12), Jodey Arrington (TX-19), and Greg Steube (FL-17) introduced the Stop EU Overreach Act, which would direct an investigation into European Union (EU) environmental regulations that could impose more than $1 trillion in initial compliance costs on American businesses operating on U.S. soil.
“This important legislation will protect American businesses from the EU’s woke regulations and extreme green energy mandates. These radical regulations on U.S. businesses would not only cost American businesses more than a trillion dollars, but also represent a clear overreach into American sovereignty,” said Congressman Craig Goldman. “I’m grateful for the incredible support of my colleagues on this issue, as we fight to protect American businesses.”
“American businesses should answer to American law, not to regulators in Brussels,” said Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.). “The EU’s sustainability mandates are a backdoor tax on our farmers, manufacturers, and small businesses that never voted for a single one of these rules. I’m co-leading the Stop EU Overreach Act with Reps. Goldman and Arrington to make sure USTR pushes back before this costs American jobs.”
The Stop the EU Overreach Act would:
Direct the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to launch a Section 301 investigation, under the U.S. Trade Act of 1974, into the EU’s extraterritorial “sustainability” regulatory regime.
Require the USTR to consider if the EU’s use of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D), Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) constitutes an unreasonable or discriminatory trade practice burdening U.S. commerce.
Instruct the USTR to identify appropriate remedies to counter these burdens and promptly report its findings to the relevant committees in the U.S. House and Senate.
Background:
The EU is seeking to impose extreme environmental mandates on American companies operating outside of the EU. By forcing American businesses to adhere to costly foreign regulations on supply chains, reporting requirements, and environmental practices, these mandates distort free market competition, threaten American jobs, and disadvantage American producers and manufacturers in global markets.
The Stop EU Overreach Act is an America First policy that ensures American businesses answer to American law — not foreign bureaucrats.
Support:
The Stop EU Overreach Act is supported by Reps. Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), August Pfluger (TX-11), Randy Weber (TX-14), Earl “Buddy” Carter (GA-01), Warren Davidson (OH-08), Pete Sessions (TX-17), and the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council.

Position: The release describes the Prior Authorization Accountability Act, which would require health insurers to publicly display claim denial rates, appeal outcomes, and average appeal resolution times. The sponsors state that greater transparency will help patients avoid unexpected denials and make informed plan choices.
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, the Prior Authorization Accountability Act, led by Reps. Craig Goldman (R-TX-12), August Pfluger (R-TX-11), Rob Wittman (R-VA-01), Jimmy Panetta (D-CA-19), Donald Norcross (D-NJ-01), and Kim Schrier (D-WA-08) passed out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. This bill requires all health insurance companies to display claim denial rates.
"For too long, Americans have suffered from surprise medical bills and unexpected denials of health insurance claims. I'm working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to increase transparency into the health insurance process so that patients can receive better care," said Congressman Craig Goldman. "I'll keep working to pass smart legislation that actually addresses the core problems in healthcare so patients can have better, more affordable care."
"Insurance is only helpful if you can actually use it when health problems arise," Congressman Donald Norcross (NJ-01) said. "Nobody should get rejected for the care they need, especially if they already paid a ridiculous amount of money for a plan that’s supposed to cover those services in the first place. The transparency requirements of this bill will help families avoid getting the rug pulled out from under them by their insurers, and is one of many necessary changes we must make to America's healthcare system as a whole."
The Prior Authorization Accountability Act would:
Require all health insurance companies to publicly display their claim denial rates
Increase transparency by letting Americans see the number and percentage of claims an insurer rejects before they sign up for a plan
Include data on the percentage of denied claims that are appealed and subsequently overturned, as well as the average time it takes to resolve appeals
Mandate this information to be posted clearly on the insurance company's website and listed in its plan materials
Background:
Every year, millions of Americans sign up for health insurance plans with little to no information about how insurance companies authorize care. As a result, many patients receive unexpected medical bills, experience delayed access to care, and must then navigate a lengthy appeal process to contest any claim denials.
This bill would hold providers accountable while giving potential customers more data to make informed decisions.
Support:
The Prior Authorization Accountability Act is supported by Baylor Scott & White Health, Texas Health Resources, Private Medical Group North Texas, National Psoriasis Foundation, Arthritis Foundation, National Alliance on Mental Illness, and more.

Improving Health Care
Rep. Goldman Introduces the Better Care, Better Cost Act to Strengthen Medicaid
Position: Rep. Craig Goldman introduced the Better Care, Better Cost Act, which would create market-based incentives for Medicaid managed care plans by assigning auto-enrolled beneficiaries to higher-performing insurers based on quality and cost measures.
WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman Craig Goldman (R-TX) has introduced the Better Care, Better Cost Act, which would implement market-based incentives that strengthen Medicaid plans for over 66 million Americans and save taxpayers up to $9 billion annually.
"No one thinks their health care is affordable. It's ridiculous that insurance companies profit while millions of Americans are stuck in low-quality, high-cost plans," said Congressman Goldman. "This bill would take Texas' successful approach and make it the national standard, improving health care for millions of Americans."
"Medicaid should reward plans that deliver better care at lower costs. Congressman Goldman's Better Care, Better Cost Act replaces arbitrary enrollment with a smarter, outcomes-based approach that protects patients, preserves state flexibility, and gives taxpayers better value for their Medicaid dollars," said Joel White, President of the Council for Affordable Health Coverage.
The Better Care, Better Cost Act would:
Create market incentives for health insurance companies to improve patient care and reduce costs
Ensure that Medicaid patients who don't actively select a plan are assigned to the best-performing health care insurance companies
Save taxpayers up to $9 billion annually by eliminating wasteful spending and directing patients to higher-quality care
Background:
Each year, an estimated 2.5 million Medicaid recipients are auto-assigned to a managed care plan they did not choose. That plan is often assigned at random, without regard for performance. The Better Care, Better Cost Act would reward high-performing insurance companies with more automatic enrollees, while low-performing companies receive fewer. By measuring quality and costs, states would direct patients to companies that deliver better results. This creates real competition, driving insurance companies to improve care and lower costs to gain more customers.

Rep. Goldman Introduces Bill to Support Abraham Accords Expansion
Position: The release supports introduction and passage of the Abraham Accords Expansion Act of 2026, which would direct the Special Presidential Envoy to expand Abraham Accords membership to Central Asian and South Caucasus nations.
WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman Craig Goldman (TX-12), a co-chair of the House Abraham Accords Caucus, has introduced the Abraham Accords Expansion Act of 2026, supporting the expansion of President Donald Trump's Abraham Accords to further advance America’s national security and economic prosperity.
"Through the Abraham Accords, America has expanded its influence across the world. Not only does greater coordination benefit Americans, but it also counters the influence of our adversaries like Iran," said Congressman Craig Goldman. "Greater stability in the Middle East and Asia will come with greater U.S. leadership in the world, and the addition of more nations into the Accords."
"The Abraham Accords have catalyzed a monumental shift in regional integration across the Middle East. Continued normalization between Israel, its neighbors, and countries beyond has already yielded shared economic opportunities, trade harmonization, and security assistance. The Abraham Accords Expansion Act would widen the aperture of potential participants in these growing normalization efforts and establish a special envoy within the U.S. government to coordinate and facilitate the implementation of multilateral cooperation agreements. FDD Action strongly endorses the legislation and encourages all members to support its passage," said Tyler Stapleton, Senior Director of Government Relations, FDD Action
Background:
In 2020, President Trump led the historic Abraham Accords to normalize relations between Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, and Morocco. Last year, Kazakhstan announced its intention to formally join the Accords.
Specifically, the Abraham Accords Expansion Act of 2026 directs the Special Presidential Envoy for the Abraham Accords—an existing ambassador-level position charged with strengthening the Accords—to expand membership to include Central Asian and South Caucasus nations.
Support for the Abraham Accords Expansion Act of 2026:
This legislation is co-sponsored by every co-chair of the bipartisan House Abraham Accords Caucus: Reps. Ann Wagner (MO-02), Brad Schneider (IL-10), and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25). Reps. Mike Lawler (NY-17), Joe Wilson (SC-2), Earl “Buddy” Carter (GA-1), Don Bacon (NE-2), Dan Newhouse (WA-4), Maria Elvira Salazar (FL-27), Rudy Yakym (IN-2), Randy Weber (TX-14), Addison McDowell (NC-6), Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1), Claudia Tenney (NY-24), Darrell Issa (CA-48), Mark Messmer (IN-8), Derrick Van Orden (WI-3), Pete Stauber (MN-8), Donald Davis (NC-1), Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5), Jimmy Panetta (CA-19), Jared Moskowitz (FL-23), Daniel Goldman (NY-10), and Lois Frankel (FL-22) are also co-sponsors of this legislation.

Rep. Goldman on the Introduction of Data Privacy Bill
Position: Rep. Goldman supports the introduction of the SECURE Data Act, which establishes national privacy and data security standards to protect Americans' personal data and strengthen safeguards for children and teens.
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congressman Craig Goldman (TX-12) issued the following statement on the introduction of the SECURE Data Act in the U.S. House. The bill establishes a robust national standard for privacy and data security to safeguard Americans’ personal data.
“After 14 months of work, I am proud to join my colleagues on the House Energy and Commerce Data Privacy Working Group in introducing the SECURE Data Act. This bill marks a major step forward in protecting Americans’ rights to their own data and strengthening safeguards for children and teens,” said Congressman Goldman. “This bill applies proven privacy and data security standards, first established by states like Texas, to the entire nation. These are common sense policies that will better protect the personal data of all Americans.”
“The Energy and Commerce Data Privacy Working Group was created to reset the discussion on comprehensive data privacy, taking wide ranging input from stakeholders and crafting a consensus bill that protects the privacy and security of Americans’ personal data. The SECURE Data Act is the result. This bill establishes clear, enforceable protections so that Americans remain in charge of their own data and companies are held accountable for its safe keeping. We look forward to working with our colleagues to build support for this bill and advance data privacy protections fit for our 21st century economy,” said Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and Congressman John Joyce, M.D. (PA-13), Leader of the Energy and Commerce Data Privacy Working Group.
Background:
First announced in February of 2025, the House Energy and Commerce Data Privacy Working Group spent more than a year developing the SECURE Data Act. Rather than imposing a top-down mandate from Washington, the bill builds on proven, state-tested solutions. The SECURE Data Act establishes important consumer privacy rights, sets reasonable requirements for businesses, creates enforcement mechanisms at both the federal and state levels, and strengthens the competitiveness of U.S. companies in global markets.
Support for the SECURE Data Act: Reps. Morgan Griffith (VA-09), Troy Balderson (OH-12), Jay Obernolte (CA-23), Russell Fry (SC-07), Nick Langworthy (NY-23), Tom Kean (NJ-07), and Julie Fedorchak (ND-AL).

Rep. Goldman’s Homeowner Energy Freedom Act Passes the House
Position: The release announces that the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act, which repeals Biden-era energy regulations on home appliances, has passed the House. The bill's supporters argue it will reduce housing costs and restore consumer choice by eliminating what they characterize as costly federal energy mandates.
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act, led by Congressman Craig Goldman (R-TX) has passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 210-199. This bill would repeal Biden-era energy regulations on home appliances that restricted consumer choice and drove up the cost of new homes.
“For many Americans, the American Dream of homeownership feels out of reach. Costly regulations imposed by the Biden Administration have driven up the price of homes. I’m proud to lead the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act, a bill that could reduce the costs of new homes by up to $31,000. I’m grateful to my colleagues for their support and hope the Senate swiftly passes this legislation to bring real relief to American families,” said Congressman Craig Goldman.
“Today, House Republicans took another critical step to repeal costly Biden-era energy mandates and reduce the burden of home prices for American families. Home buyers and builders will no longer be burdened by unnecessary green regulations and electrification mandates that drive up costs and limit choice. Rep. Goldman’s Homeowner Energy Freedom Act paves the path forward for affordable homeownership, restores common sense in our energy policy, and ensures responsible, efficient use of taxpayer dollars,” said Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (LA-04).
“The Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act included radical ‘Green New Scam’ mandates to essentially ban gas appliances and force states to adopt unworkable building codes, forcing consumers to switch to more expensive electric alternatives and destroying housing affordability. Americans should be able to choose the options that best suit their needs, not have Washington force an electrification agenda upon them. I’m grateful to Rep. Goldman for bringing forward this bill to repeal these costly provisions and protect consumer choice, and am happy to see it pass the House,” said House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (LA-01).
“Under Joe Biden, the Democrats pushed Green New Scam policies onto the American people, ripping away consumer choice, driving up costs, and making life unaffordable—especially for homeowners. Thankfully, House Republicans and President Trump are undoing this damage and lowering costs for the American people. By passing Congressman Goldman’s Homeowner Energy Freedom Act, House Republicans are repealing burdensome Biden regulations, restoring consumer choice, and stopping wasteful government spending. Thank you, Congressman Goldman, for leading the way with this important legislation,” said House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (MN-06).
“House Republicans are bringing housing costs down by stopping Washington from shoving radical mandates down the throats of American families. The Democrats’ energy agenda jacked up regulatory costs, strangled home construction, and pushed the American Dream further out of reach. This bill rips out the red tape, puts families back in charge of their own homes and budgets, and tells the federal government to get out of the way. Americans don’t need bureaucrats deciding how they live. They need affordable homes and a fair shot,” said House Chairwoman Lisa McClain (MI-09).
“For too long, burdensome regulations established by the Biden-Harris Administration have driven up costs for home buyers. The Homeowner Energy Freedom Act puts an end to expensive building code mandates that push homeownership out of reach for millions of hardworking families. Thank you to Congressman Goldman for his work on lowering prices in communities across the country,” said House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Brett Guthrie (KY-02).
Background:
The Homeowner Energy Freedom Act would repeal and rescind all unobligated funding in Sections 50122, 50123, and 50131 of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Through these provisions, the Biden Administration allocated more than $5 billion to subsidize the electrification of home appliances, effectively restricting the installation of gas stoves and water heaters in new homes. These regulations restricted consumer choice and increased the cost of new homes by up to $31,000.
Support:
This bill is co-sponsored by Reps. Jake Ellzey (TX-06) and Dan Crenshaw (TX-02) and is supported by the National Association of Home Builders, the National Taxpayers Union, and the National Energy & Fuels Institute.

Rep. Goldman Introduces Bill to Codify Pres. Trump’s Energy Deregulation Executive Order
Position: Rep. Goldman supports codifying President Trump's executive order requiring sunset clauses on energy regulations, arguing that deregulation will expedite project approvals, reduce spending, and lower energy costs.
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congressman Craig Goldman (R-TX) introduced the Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy Act, which codifies President Donald Trump’s executive order that requires sunset clauses on all current and future energy regulations. This is the U.S. House companion to U.S. Senator Jim Risch’s (R-ID) bill, which he introduced last year.
“Texas leads the nation in passing prudent energy deregulation policies. It’s time for the federal government to follow Texas’ example and make energy deregulation the national standard,” said Congressman Goldman. “I’m excited to work with Senator Risch to codify this incredible executive order from President Trump. These policies will expedite project approvals, reduce wasteful spending, and lower energy costs for all Americans.”
The Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy Act would:
Require the Department of Energy (DOE), Department of the Interior (DOI), with specific sub-agencies therein, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to implement sunset clauses on existing energy regulations
Require agencies to conduct a thorough review and a public comment period before extending energy regulations for up to five years
Require a five-year sunset provision on all future energy regulations
Background:
Decades of federal rulemaking have produced nearly 200,000 pages of regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The magnitude of federal regulations significantly restricts U.S. energy industry production and increases energy costs for Americans.
On April 9, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order to repeal the burdensome regulatory framework that constrains Americans’ prosperity. This bill would codify that executive order, making deregulation the status quo for America’s energy industry.
This bill is co-sponsored by Reps. August Pfluger (TX-11), Dan Crenshaw (TX-02), Beth Van Duyne (TX-24), Randy Weber (TX-14), Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13), Barry Moore (AL-01), and Pat Harrigan (NC-10).

Rep. Goldman Introduces the Don’t Tax the American Dream Act
Position: Rep. Goldman introduced legislation to eliminate federal capital gains taxes on the sale of primary residences, arguing this would increase housing supply and improve affordability by allowing homeowners to keep more proceeds from home sales.
WASHINGTON, DC — This week, Congressman Craig Goldman (R-TX) introduced the Don't Tax the American Dream Act, legislation that would eliminate federal capital gains taxes on the sale of primary residences.
"Americans are overtaxed. The Don't Tax the American Dream Act repeals costly capital gains taxes on home sales so that Americans keep more of their hard-earned money," said Congressman Goldman. "Repealing these taxes will unleash the housing market and help restore the American Dream of homeownership."
The Don't Tax the American Dream Act would:
Eliminate all federal capital gains taxes on primary residence sales after the homeowner has lived in the property for two years
Increase the national housing supply
Repeal costly taxes on American homeowners
Restore the American Dream of homeownership by improving housing affordability
Background:
Tax filers can exempt up to $250,000 (individual) or $500,000 (married filing jointly) from capital gains taxes when selling a primary residence after living in it for at least two years. However, these exemption caps have remained unchanged since 1997, despite significant increases in home values. This policy discourages homeowners from selling, reducing housing supply and worsening affordability.

Goldman, Wagner, Huizenga, Lawler, Wilson, and Gottheimer Introduce Resolution Supporting Expansion of Abraham Accords
Position: The representatives support the expansion of the Abraham Accords to include Kazakhstan, viewing it as strengthening regional stability, U.S. national security, and support for Israel among Arab and Muslim-majority nations.
WASHINGTON, DC — Reps. Craig Goldman (TX‑12), Ann Wagner (MO-2), Bill Huizenga (MI-4), Mike Lawler (NY‑17), Rep. Joe Wilson (SC-2), and Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) introduced a bipartisan resolution supporting the expansion of the Abraham Accords to include Kazakhstan.
“Thanks to the strong leadership of President Trump, Kazakhstan has joined the Abraham Accords – a significant step that will strengthen regional stability and bolster support for Israel among Arab states,” said Congressman Craig Goldman. “Alongside my congressional colleagues, I am proud to support President Trump’s continued efforts to advance U.S. national security by promoting peace around the world.”
“Kazakhstan joining the Abraham Accords sends a clear message: friendship between Israel, the United States, and Arab and Muslim-majority nations remains a force for peace. Now more than ever, strong ties between Israel and Muslim-majority partners—whether for diplomatic, economic, or security reasons—are necessary to defend against the chaos and conflict that Iran, Russia, and China are spreading around the world. Congress’s bipartisan support for expanding and deepening the Abraham Accords is ironclad, and I hope this is just the first of many new countries that President Trump welcomes into the Accords,” said Congresswoman Ann Wagner.
“I’m grateful to lead this resolution, Kazakhstan is an important partner of the U.S. and a strong ally to increase the flow of critical minerals to the U.S,” said Congressman Wilson.
“Kazakhstan joining the Abraham Accords is an encouraging step toward further expanding and strengthening the Accords,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer. "Broadening Israel’s relationships with additional countries helps make America, our service members stationed in the region, and our allies safer.”
