Craig Goldman served 12 years in the Texas State House before becoming the U.S. Representative for Texas' 12th Congressional District.

Both his official House.gov biography and his campaign website (craiggoldman.org) confirm he served 12 years in the Texas House of Representatives before being elected to Congress representing Texas' 12th District, corroborating the claim made in Trump's Truth Social post.
