David Goodman is a Republican politician who formerly served in the Ohio General Assembly. A formerly assistant Ohio Attorney General, he served on Bexley City Council from 1995-1998. Goodman won an appointment to the Ohio House of Representatives in 1998 to succeed Jim Mason, who had resigned. He won election to a full term in 1998, and again in 2000. By 2001, Goodman was serving as Chairman of a Finance Subcommittee.[1]

In 2001, Senator Bruce E. Johnson resigned to become Commerce Director for Ohio Governor Bob Taft, leaving a vacancy in the Senate. As a result, Goodman was appointed to fill the remainder of his term.[2] He was seated in the Senate on October 2, 2001. Goodman won a full term for his seat in 2002.

In 2004, Goodman opted to run for Franklin County Commissioner against Mary Jo Kilroy.[3] While the race was contentious, Kilroy bested Goodman by 4% in the general election.[4] Goodman was again reelected to the Senate in 2006, and served as Chairman of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee. Goodman was again on the ballot in 2008, this time for a position on Ohio Tenth District Court of Appeals. He ended up losing the election to incumbent John Conner.

By 2010, Goodman was term limited from the Senate, and left at the end of his term on December 31, 2010, after over twelve years as a legislator. However, soon after leaving office, Ohio Governor John Kasich named Goodman as Commerce Director for his administration. He is currently serving in that capacity.[5]
