Matt Koleszar is an incumbent Democrat running for re-election for his fourth term in the Michigan House of Representatives representing the 22nd District. He serves on the Elections, Higher Education, and Labor legislative committees; and he chairs the Education committee. Koleszar is a graduate of Saginaw Valley State University and obtained his Master’s degree from Eastern Michigan University while working as a social studies teacher at Airport Community School District for 12 years.
Koleszar served in a historic legislative session with a Democratic majority that took major strides forward on key progressive issues. The Democratic majority passed the Reproductive Health Act, ensuring all Michiganders can make their own decisions about how and when to start a family, gave Michigan's kids free school breakfast and lunch and additional funds to support our students, and passed common sense gun violence prevention measures. Putting hard-working Michiganders' first, they also quintupled the Working Families Tax Credit, got rid of the retirement tax, and got rid of so-called "right to work" anti-worker legislation to ensure workers have bargaining power to stand up to greedy corporations. Koleszar also helped expand the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act and codify parts of the Affordable Care Act into law that protect LGBTQ+ Michiganders from discrimination in healthcare, housing, and the workplace.
Koleszar’s priorities in the legislature include strengthening Michigan education, finding effective solutions to fix the roads, and increasing access to quality health care in Michigan. He believes in creating an economy that works for everyone, where wages meet the cost of living and housing is affordable. He is fighting to properly fund public schools and support small community businesses, and wants to work to protect the environment by fighting for his constituents affected by the Arbor Hills Landfill. He supports protecting reproductive freedom, common sense gun violence prevention measures, and fully funding public education. Koleszar will fight to support workers’ rights, ensure equality for the LGBTQ+ community, and protect our air, water, and environment.
Koleszar has been endorsed by the following progressive partner organizations: American Federation of Teachers - Michigan, Equality Michigan Action Network, Michigan AFL-CIO, Michigan Association for Justice, Michigan Education Association, Michigan League of Conservation Voters, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan, Service Employees International Union - Michigan, and Sierra Club - Michigan.
Matt Koleszar is running against Republican Adam Stathakis who holds right-wing views on the economy and education. Stathakis is anti-reproductive freedom and endorsed by the anti-public education, DeVos-backed organization the Great Lakes Education Project.
Matt Koleszar is the most progressive choice in this race.
