The Brief State Rep. Vikki Goodwin is running for lieutenant governor of Texas. When Vikki Goodwin announced she was running for lieutenant governor, she was dismissed as a long shot. Goodwin sat down with the Texas Trio's Rudy Koski to talk about her vision for the position and putting casinos and sports betting on the ballot. Goodwin: Well, I think the separation is that oftentimes the lieutenant governor thinks he knows best for Texans. Right now, I feel like the attitude of the Lieutenant Governor is it's his way or the highway.
