State Rep. Jason Woolford, R-Howell, this week received the MIRS Freshman Legislator of the Year Award in recognition of his leadership, hard work, and commitment to accountability during his first year in office, according to a release. The Michigan Information and Research Service (MIRS) is a leading political newsletter covering state government.

“I’m honored to accept this award, but the work is far from finished,” said Woolford. “I appreciate MIRS for this recognition and it reinforces my commitment to building on this momentum, continuing to advocate for strong oversight and smart policy at the Capitol, and delivering results that reflect the priorities of the people I serve.”

Woolford represents the 50th House District, which includes the city of Howell and the village of Fowlerville, plus the townships of Cohoctah, Conway, Deerfield, Handy, Hartland, Howell, Iosco, Marion, Oceola, Unadilla, southern Tyrone Township, and the north and west parts of Putnam Township.
