Andrew W. Goodell (born December 1, 1954)[1] is an American politician who was elected to the New York State Assembly in 2010.
Goodell represents the 150th Assembly District, which is numerically the last, and geographically the westernmost, of the 150 districts in the Assembly and, as of the 2012 redistricting, aligns with the boundaries of Chautauqua County.
[3] Goodell announced his intentions to run against incumbent Democratic assemblyman William Parment in summer 2010.
After Parment dropped his re-election bid, Democrats chose former county legislator and frequent candidate Nancy Bargar as Goodell's opponent, whom Goodell dispatched in the general election in November 2010.
[citation needed] He also has a degree in political economics and mathematics from Williams College.
