Wesley Goodman (born February 14, 1984) is the state representative for the 87th District of the Ohio House of Representatives. He is a Republican. The district consists of Crawford County, Morrow County, Wyandot County, as well as portions of Marion County and Seneca County.
Goodman is a lifelong resident of central Ohio. He is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, where he majored in politics and government. He then went on to work for United States Senator Mike DeWine before joining the staff of Jim Jordan. He later served as the managing director of the Conservative Action Project.
By 2016 State Representative Jeffrey McClain had served four terms in the Ohio House of Representatives and was barred by term limits from running for a fifth term. Goodman entered the race to succeed him, and in the Republican primary, bested former Representative Steve Reinhard, who had represented the same seat from 2001 to 2008, and another Republican, Tom Whiston with over 41% of the vote. He was unopposed in the General Election.
On October 2, 2016, McClain stepped down prior to the end of his term to take a position in the administration of Ohio Governor John Kasich. This allowed for House Republicans to seat Goodman early. On November 16, 2016, he was sworn in to serve out the remainder of McClain's term. His own, two-year term will begin on January 4, 2017.
