Angier Louis Goodwin (January 30, 1881 – June 20, 1975) was a Republican from Massachusetts who represented the state's 8th congressional district from 1943 to 1955 in the United States House of Representatives. He was previously a mayor and legislator in both houses of the Massachusetts legislature.
U.S. House of Representatives
Goodwin was elected to the House in the 1942 Midterm Elections, defeating Democrat Frederick T. McDermott by twelve percentage points.[2] He was re-elected five times[3] though lost in 1954 to Torbert H. Macdonald.[4]
Reece Committee
On July 27, 1953, the House of Representatives voted to re-enact the Select Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations and Comparable Organizations at the request of Brazilla Carroll Reece, who believed that the committee conducted an insufficient job in the previous congressional session.[5] Goodwin was part of the forty-nine GOP representatives who voted against the resolution.[6]
