Lower costs stronger schools better politics

hi, I’m stephen wooden

From working across the aisle to build more housing while defending voting rights against far-right attacks, I’ve shown I’ll work with anyone and stand up to anyone to make Michigan fairer, freer, and more affordable. I am running for re-election to lower costs, strengthen schools and make politics better for everyday folks.

  • Only in his first term, Rep. Stephen Wooden was able to pass signature legislation in one of the least productive legislatures in Michigan history.

  • As the ranking Democrat on the House Election Integrity Committee, Stephen has stood up to those who want to undermine our elections and make it harder for citizens to vote.

  • Before serving in the state house, he was a Kent County Commissioner for six years. There, he also built a track record of working across the aisle to get things done without compromising his values.

  • Stephen and his wife, Adelyn, live on Grand Rapids’ northeast side with their son and daughter.
