NORTON SHORES, MI — State Rep. Greg VanWoerkom today announced he has filed for re-election to the Michigan House of Representatives, representing the 88th House District. VanWoerkom, who also considered a run for State Senate, said his decision came down to a simple question: where can he do the most good right now?
“Every term I’ve served our community, I’ve been part of a House Republican caucus that has been at the center of passing real legislation to lower the cost of daily life and make Michigan competitive again,” VanWoerkom said. “I didn’t go to Lansing to wait in line for a promotion. I went to get results for West Michigan families, and that work isn’t finished.”
As a member of the Appropriations Committee, VanWoerkom has focused on fiscal discipline and cutting unnecessary regulations that drive up costs for small businesses and families. He secured long-term funding for the Tri-Share childcare program and led efforts to reduce barriers for in-home childcare providers across Michigan. He also helped pass bipartisan policies supporting research and innovation tied to high-skill, high-wage jobs in West Michigan.
His work has earned recognition from the Michigan Economic Developers Association, the Small Business Association of Michigan, Michigan Works, and the Michigan Chamber of Commerce.
With the Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and both chambers of the Legislature all on the ballot this November, VanWoerkom says that’s exactly why experience matters.
“This isn’t the year to send someone to Lansing who needs on-the-job training. West Michigan needs a legislator who already knows how to get results, and I’m ready to keep doing that work.”
