[3] Goode emerged victorious and was assigned to seats on the Judiciary and Liquor Control committees in the forthcoming Iowa legislature.

[7] Goode was also appointed in March to a special bipartisan committee established to "winnow" some 500 pending bills to identify those meriting further consideration during the final weeks of the legislative session.

[8] In 1940, Goode ran for election to the Iowa State Senate, winning the race and serving a single four-year term.

Out of the legislature again after early 1965, Goode was the winner of two more terms of office in November 1968 and 1970, with his district boundaries being changed in the latter race as the result of the 1970 federal census.

[9] At the time of his death, Goode's 30 years of service in the Iowa legislature was the third longest tenure in state history, behind the 32-year careers of fellow Republicans Frank Byers and Arch McFarlane.
