Bob Good in 2020 House elections


On Health Care: The free market should drive health care

Good favors letting the free market drive health care and criticized Gov. Ralph Northam, a physician, for vetoing a bill this year that intended to expand access to health insurance because it would have undermined the ACA. "We know what happens when you put a doctor in charge of government," Good said.

On Abortion: Abortion is not healthcare; the unborn must be protected

Abortion is not healthcare. Abortion is not a human right. When it is treated as such, we deny that innocent baby their God-given rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I believe all human life, born and unborn, should be protected and cherished. As a born-again Christian, I believe God calls us to defend the defenseless and be a voice for the voiceless. When deciding how to vote, I will always err on the side of unborn human life, each and every time.

On Civil Rights: Transexuals threaten Christian values

Bob Good, a self-described "biblical conservative" is hoping to rally clergy members with meetings this week attacking a new state law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. "What happens when a male member of your congregation goes on vacation and returns four weeks later as a female?" the invitation said, adding, "What do your church bylaws state regarding a man dressed as a woman who attends a church function and expects to use the women's restroom."

On Crime: Make it a hate crime to assault a police officer

Good has spent this week traveling around the district holding rallies in support of law enforcement, replicating the law-and-order message Trump is using following unrest in cities across the country amid protests over police brutality. Good said he would support making it a hate crime to assault a police officer and increasing funding for police while saying Webb would take funding away from police.

On Energy & Oil: Green New Deal and Paris Climate Accord kill jobs

Energy independence is vital to our national security, as we no longer depend upon foreign or even hostile nations for our energy needs. Radical policies like the Green New Deal and agreements like the Paris Climate Accord are job-killing, economy-destroying initiatives. These proposals would not only tremendously weaken the United States economically, but would also threaten our national security and how we live our daily lives.

On Gun Control: Supports 2nd Amendment and right to protect ourselves

Our right to keep and bear arms not only allows us to protect our families and ourselves as well as allow us to hunt and shoot for sport, it puts a critical check on our government. I unashamedly support and defend our God-given and Constitutional right found in the Second Amendment. The right to keep and bear arms, along with the other rights found in the Bill of Rights, is fundamental to the foundation of America. Without the right of self-protection, tyranny is left unchecked and government encroachm

On Immigration: Protect jobs for Americans with wall and no illegals

The current status of our immigration practices presents a danger to national security, national identity, and our national, state, and local economies. It is the role of the Federal government to protect American jobs for American workers, to secure our borders including the building of a wall on our southern border and eliminating illegal immigration. I support a merit-based system where immigration is granted to those based on our economic needs.
