Robert George Good (born September 11, 1965) is an American politician. A member of the Republican Party, he served as the U.S. representative from Virginia's 5th congressional district from 2021 to 2025. Prior to his election to Congress, Good served as a member of the Board of Supervisors in Campbell County, Virginia, for three years. He also worked at his alma mater, Liberty University, and for Citi.
Good was first elected to Congress in 2020, after defeating incumbent Denver Riggleman in the Republican primary. Good supported the removal of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House and became chair of the House Freedom Caucus in January 2024. He also endorsed Ron DeSantis instead of Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries. As a result of these moves, Good faced a primary challenge from state senator John McGuire, who was recruited by Kevin McCarthy and endorsed by Donald Trump. McGuire's victory was certified on July 2, by a margin of 370 votes. Good requested a recount, which he lost. Good resigned as chair of the Freedom Caucus on September 17, 2024.
