He called for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and opposed mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic. He did not wear a face covering or encourage the wearing of face coverings at campaign events, and opposed restrictions on businesses to slow the spread of the virus. Good suggested that the wearing of face coverings might be harmful. In the November 3 general election, Good defeated Democratic nominee Cameron Webb, a physician, 52.6% (210,988) to 47.4% (190,315).

Good had initially backed Ron DeSantis, who was a founder of the Freedom Caucus, against Trump in the 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries. He considered DeSantis more of a "true conservative" than Trump on issues like abortion and gun control. Because of this, Trump would endorse Good's primary opponent, John McGuire on May 28, 2024.{{Cite web |last1=Tully-McManus |first1=Katherine |date=May 28, 2024 |title=Trump endorses GOP challenger to Freedom Caucus Leader |url=https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/05/28/congress/trump-endorses-goods-opponent-00160106 |access-date=May 28, 2024 |website=Politico}} Good later switched his endorsement to Trump after DeSantis backed out of the primary. Good continued to use campaign signage featuring Trump's name and image, resulting in Trump sending a cease-and-desist letter to Good.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-campaign-demands-bob-good-stop-name-image-reelection-rcna155031|title=Trump's campaign demands that GOP Rep.

After his election, Good appeared amid the pandemic at a rally in Washington, D.C., in which Trump supporters protested the Supreme Court's rejection of a lawsuit attempting to subvert the results of the election, which Trump lost to Joe Biden. During the rally, Good promoted the theory that Democrats had perpetrated a vast conspiracy to steal the election. He said that while the virus was real, the pandemic was "phony". Good told a maskless crowd that "this is a phony pandemic" and, the next day, suggested that precautions to prevent the spread of the disease were a "hoax".

On January 6, 2021, Good voted against certifying the election of President-elect Biden. On January 17, he voted against a House bill awarding Congressional Gold Medals to the U.S. Capitol Police and the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department for their roles in protecting the Capitol and members of Congress during the storming of the United States Capitol.{{Cite web|date=March 18, 2021|title=12 Republicans vote against honoring Capitol police for protecting Congress.|url=http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/18/republicans-vote-against-honoring-capitol-police|access-date=March 18, 2021|website=the Guardian|archive-date=March 18, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210318171922/https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/18/republicans-vote-against-honoring-capitol-police|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|first1=Annie|last1=Grayer|first2=Kristin|last2=Wilson|title=House votes to award Congressional Gold Medal to police|url=https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/17/politics/house-votes-congressional-gold-medal/index.html|access-date=March 18, 2021|website=CNN|date=March 17, 2021|archive-date=March 18, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210318134204/https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/17/politics/house-votes-congressional-gold-medal/index.html|url-status=live}} He and 20 other House Republicans voted against a similar resolution in June 2021.{{Cite news|first1=Annie|last1=Grayer|first2=Kristin|last2=Wilson|date=June 16, 2021|website=CNN|url=https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/15/politics/congressional-gold-medal-house-vote/index.html|title=21 Republicans vote no on bill to award Congressional Gold Medal for January 6 police officers|accessdate=June 16, 2021|archive-date=June 28, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210628154838/https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/15/politics/congressional-gold-medal-house-vote/index.html|url-status=live}}
