Meet Rep. Tom Kuhn
Tom Kuhn was first elected to the Michigan House in November 2022. He represents the 57th District, which spans Macomb and Oakland counties and takes in parts of Sterling Heights, Troy and Madison Heights.
Tom serves on House Appropriations, the committee that writes Michigan's budget. He is the Chairman of the General Government subcommittee and serves as vice chair of the Public Health subcommittee. He is also a member of the subcommittees on Higher Education and Community Colleges and on Medicaid and Behavioral Health.
He came to Lansing after years of local service. Tom spent 12 years on as a City Commissioner and 12 years on the Oakland Community College Board of Trustees, two of them as board chair. He then represented us as an Oakland County commissioner for four years. He has practiced law for more than 35 years.
Tom and his wife, Sherry, live in Troy. Sherry spent more than 25 years teaching special education in Macomb County and holds a doctorate in education. They have been married 28 years and have three children and four grandchildren. Tom coached youth sports for years, served on the board of a youth baseball organization, and spent a decade on the Emerald Lakes Village Homeowners Association board.

Tom Kuhn is your voice in Lansing
I am honored to represent you.
I ran because I had spent 28 years in local government watching Lansing spend money it could not account for. So when I got to Appropriations, I did the unglamorous thing. I read the budget. Then I started asking where the money went.
That work has a name now. H.E.A.T. is law, and every earmark in the state budget has to go public 45 days before anyone can vote on it. We cut more than a billion dollars of waste out of the budget, and the money went where it belongs: schools in Troy, Utica and Warren, local roads without raising anyone's taxes, and police in our neighborhoods.
While Washington and Lansing argues, I’m focused on delivering results for you.
There is more to do, and I would be grateful for your vote on Nov. 3.
