Jo Goodhew (born 1961) is a New Zealand politician, and currently serves as a member of Parliament for the electorate of Rangitata.

Member of Parliament

Parliament of New Zealand
Years	Term	Electorate	List	Party
2005–2008	48th	Aoraki	31	National
2008–2011	49th	Rangitata	39	National
2011 – present	50th	Rangitata	23	National

In the 2005 election, Goodhew was a candidate for the National Party, standing in the Aoraki electorate and being ranked 31st on the party list. She won the Aoraki seat and entered Parliament.

In the 2008 election, most of Aoraki was moved to the new Rangitata electorate, which was vulnerable to capture by Labour. This didn't eventuate, and Goodhew won the new electorate with an increased majority.

Goodhew was elected Junior Whip by Caucus following the resignation from Government by Richard Worth. This led to the former Junior Whip Chris Tremain being promoted to Senior Whip and Nathan Guy taking over Worth's portfolios. After the 2011 Election, Goodhew was returned as MP for Rangitata but with a slightly reduced majority. Goodhew was made Minister of Community and Voluntary Sector, succeeding from Tariana Turia when the new Government portfolios were announced; she was replaced as Junior Whip by Louise Upston, MP for Taupo.
