Margaret Good is running to serve Florida’s 16th district in Congress because she believes Southwest Florida’s families deserve a representative who works just as hard as they do. 

Margaret Good currently represents Florida’s 72nd district as a State Representative-- a seat she narrowly flipped in 2018. Good has built the reputation of a problem-solving legislator who will work across the aisle to improve the lives of Florida’s working families. She is committed to reducing health care costs, investing in public education and university systems, and protecting Florida’s fragile environment.. Good has always been committed to public service. Shortly after graduating from college, she put her values to work at United Way, where she focused on helping families achieve financial stability and gain access to health care and early childhood education programs. There, she gained critical experience reaching common ground between business leaders, local governments, schools, and faith organizations. 

 

Good went on to work at the Florida Agricultural Center and Horse Park, a vital economic development project linking commercial, environmental, and agricultural interests. Knowing she wanted to continue her service as a lawyer, Margaret attended the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where she served as editor of the Florida Law Review and graduated with honors. After law school, she moved to Sarasota with her husband, Richard, and her dog, Barney, to build a life together.
