Jason Woolford, 51, R-Marion Township, is running for state representative in Michigan’s 50th District, which includes most of Livingston County.
That seat is currently held by Republican state Rep. Bob Bezotte, who is not running for re-election. Woolford has Bezotte’s endorsement, according to his campaign release.
“As a United States Marine Veteran, businessman, and president of a non-profit organization, I believe we need to re-employ and re-engage the fundamentals that made this country great into Michigan,” said Woolford. “I am a versatile candidate with a background in many areas that face the good people of the 50th District and I plan to use my experience to better our community.”
In addition to Woolford’s service, Maria, his wife of 30 years, is a veteran of the Marines and the Army National Guard. The couple has three children and five grandchildren. Their youngest daughter is currently serving as a Marine.
