Greg Goode is running for Congress not just to oppose the liberal policies and votes of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and the incumbant 8th District Representative, he is running for "A New Covenant for the Conservative Cause," based on balancing the Federal budget, lowering taxes, protecting the jobs of our heartland from being given to China, defending our heritage and values, protecting our homeland from illegal aliens, supporting our men and women in uniform, and fighting for I-69 and other transportation priorities.

Greg Goode will restore a rock-solid, reliable, conservative voice in the US Congress!
