building a better future

Hello, I’m Stephen Wooden and I’m running for state representative in Michigan’s 81st House District. I am running to protect the amazing progress we’ve made over the last few years and build on it.

I believe Michigan is strongest when we look out for one another. People of all races, incomes and backgrounds have, at their core, the same basic dreams. They went to live in a safe community they can afford. They want financial stability. They want to send their kids to good schools and set them on a path towards prosperity. While too many politicians these days seek to divide us with culture wars, I will work to build consensus on real solutions that will help make these simple, common dreams a reality. I did this as a Kent County Commissioner and housing professional. It’s what I’ll do as your state representative.

I am running for the state house to bring down costs, tackle the housing crisis and support world class schools. I am running to protect our air and water, our voting rights and our reproductive freedoms.
