Democrat Vikki Goodwin, who won the Texas lieutenant governor race, unveiled her transition team on Tuesday. It includes two former GOP state senators.

Goodwin takes office Jan. 19 and will work with a Senate where Republicans keep the majority. Patrick has said Senate Republicans should change the chamber's rules, though specifics are still unknown.

Goodwin's top priorities are boosting public education funding and health coverage. She also opposes a full ban on THC, saying it should be regulated instead.
