Rockford, MI — Lynn Afendoulis today announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination for State Representative in Michigan's 90th House District, pledging to bring accountability and fiscal discipline to a state government she says has lost both.

"It's not complicated: Lansing spends too much taxpayer money on a fat government that has grown beyond capacity and need. I've never been afraid to challenge the establishment or buck the status quo, and that's not going to change. And with a term under my belt, I'll be able to hit the ground running."

— Lynn Afendoulis

Afendoulis served one term in the state House, in the 2019–2020 session. She challenged Peter Meijer in the 2020 Republican primary for Michigan's 3rd Congressional District. She is running for the seat being vacated by Rep. Bryan Posthumus to finish the job she started.

She noted that the state budget has increased 40% since she left office. "This is out of control," Afendoulis said. "I'm going back to help stop the madness, because we can't afford this."

Five Core Commitments

Afendoulis is a constitutional conservative running on five core commitments:

Stop the Fraud.Audit every line item in the state budget and eradicate waste. Lansing has operated without serious fiscal oversight for too long, and taxpayers deserve to know where every dollar goes.
Cut Taxes.It's time to look at a balanced approach to cutting income, property, and other taxes to reduce taxpayers' unsustainable burden.
Restore Parents' Rights.Parents — not schools, not bureaucrats — make decisions for their children. Afendoulis will push back against Lansing's overreach into education, healthcare, and family life.
Stand With Law Enforcement.Safe neighborhoods aren't negotiable. Afendoulis will fight for the resources and the policies that keep our communities secure, and she will always stand with the men and women who protect them.
Put Money Back in Your Pocket.Lower the cost of living across the board — from energy rates to healthcare costs — so families in northern Kent County aren't choosing between groceries and utility bills.
