FOCUSED ON WHAT MATTERS MOST
Children & Parental Rights
Parents—not government—should guide the care and upbringing of their children.
Fiscal Responsibility / DOGE
Taxpayer dollars should be managed with discipline and transparency. The state budget has ballooned by tens of billions of dollars over the last eight years — including funding for thousands of ghost employees and wasteful spending that must be eliminated.
Constitutional Freedoms
Standing firm for free speech, religious liberty, and the rule of law.
Local Control
Decisions belong to Michigan communities—not distant bureaucracies. We must repeal PA 233 and return decision-making to government that is closest to the people. Local communities should also determine zoning and housing decisions.
“Michigan is at a critical moment, and the future of our state will be shaped by leaders who have the courage to act—and the record to prove they will.”
Leadership you can measure. Results you can trust.
When government actions impacted families in our community, Joe stepped forward—and delivered results that restored accountability and protected families.
While others talk about change, Joe Moss has delivered it—standing firm for families and producing real results you can trust.
Leadership that delivers—here at home.
Joe Moss is stepping forward because strong leadership is needed—not just in Washington, but here at home.
We need leaders who will deliver results, protect families, and stand firm for the America First principles that put our citizens—not bureaucracies—first.
That starts right here in Michigan—by restoring accountability, defending local communities, and ensuring government works for the people it serves.

Joe Moss Announces Candidacy for Michigan House District 89, Calling for Courageous Leadership and Proven Results
HUDSONVILLE, Michigan – March 24, 2026 – Joe Moss, Ottawa County Commissioner and a proven conservative leader, announced his candidacy for the Michigan House of Representatives in District 89.
Moss entered public service during the COVID-19 pandemic after witnessing government overreach that harmed families, parents, and small businesses. He stepped forward to act—working to restore accountability and ensure government serves the people.
As Board Chair, Moss led the effort to eliminate Ottawa County’s DEI department—the first local government in the nation to take this step—strengthened parental rights, and advanced fiscally responsible policies—delivering real results for families and taxpayers.
Moss has been a strong advocate for protecting children, preserving childhood innocence, and ensuring parents—not government—make the decisions that shape their families. He also champions local control, standing with residents to defend their communities and farmland from top-down mandates.
“Michigan is at a critical moment, and the future of our state will be shaped by leaders who have the courage to act—and the record to prove they will,” said Moss.
“Strong leadership means taking decisive action, standing firm on principle, and remaining accountable to the people we serve. It means protecting children, preserving childhood, and standing with local communities—so the people, not distant bureaucracies, have a voice in their future. That’s the leadership I’ve brought in Ottawa County, and it’s the leadership I will bring to Lansing.”
Moss emphasized the need for Republican leadership that rises to the moment with courage, takes action, and delivers real results for Michigan families.
“Voters are looking for more than promises—they want results,” Moss added. “I’ve taken action, delivered reform, and stayed accountable to the people. I’m ready to bring that leadership to Lansing.”
His campaign will focus on protecting children and families, defending local communities, reducing taxes, strengthening Michigan’s economy, and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in government.
Moss is proud to have the support of County Commissioners Sylvia Rhodea and Allison Miedema, who also represent the people of House District 89.
MEET JOE
Joe Moss is a conservative Republican, husband, father, and business owner from Hudsonville. He serves as Ottawa County Commissioner and is committed to faith, family, freedom, and constitutional government.
Joe grew up in Ottawa County and has six younger brothers. He earned degrees in Accounting and Marketing from Cedarville University and worked for a top 10 accounting firm. He then founded multiple technology companies that serve clients in industries across the United States.
Joe became involved in local politics after Ottawa County threatened the parents at his child’s Christian school with fines and imprisonment for exercising their rights to determine the care and education of their children, and for not complying with certain COVID-19 mandates. The county eventually closed the school for two weeks. The school sued in federal court and never compromised their convictions. The county attorney at the time claimed the school and the school’s attorney had an “ignorant conservative political agenda.”
Since co-founding Ottawa Impact with Sylvia Rhodea in early 2021, Joe has led the county in standing for freedom and seeking to preserve and protect American values. Working with a strong team of local parents, pastors, business owners, and leaders, Joe is focused on cultivating a vibrant community and the preservation of the American family.
Joe is a leader who stands for faith, freedom, & family.
