In the 2018 primary, Gooden did not seek reelection to the state House but instead led an eight-candidate field for Texas' 5th congressional district seat being vacated by the retiring [[Jeb Hensarling]]. With more than a third of the ballots in the primary, Gooden is headed into a runoff election on May 22 with leading opponent Bunni Pounds.
