building a better future
I’m Stephen Wooden and I’m running for state representative to help bring down costs, fix the housing crisis, protect your reproductive freedoms and ensure a brighter future for all.
Despite our differences, we share common hopes and dreams. Unfortunately, powerful interests stop us from achieving them, from corporations gouging prices to extremists stirring division.
I’m ready to stand up to both because I already have. I’ve been helping everyday Michiganders save money on their electric bills and housing costs for nearly a decade. As a Kent County Commissioner, I’ve forged bipartisan consensus and now we’re building more starter homes, enhancing our parks and expanding mental health services.
I am ready to bring the same energy and approach to Lansing and I hope you’ll join me.
