Rudy Howard

Michigan

Running for: House of Representatives District 96

Re-Elect
Rudy Howard is a strong supporter of Bay County and its hardworking families. He grew up in a household that values public duty. His stepmother was an assistant county prosecutor, his grandpa was an ordained clergyman, and his grandmother worked as a public school teacher. Rudy continued this heritage of devotion after a successful career in the automobile sector, returning to Bay County to become an instructor. He possesses master's degrees in public administration and education and has taught at schools throughout Bay, Saginaw, and Genesee counties. Rudy and his wife, Tristica, live in Bay County with their dog, Esther, and two children, Kara and Rudy Michael III, who are also attending college.

Rudy's labor background is substantial, spanning three generations of union members. He credits the UAW with raising his family out of poverty and recognizes the essential role that unions play in providing safe workplaces, fair pay, and benefits. Rudy observed directly how unions contribute to thriving economies after spending more than a decade in management for Ford and other automakers. He is now running for House District 96 and is devoted to creating a more equitable economy, improving schools, and protecting workers' rights. Rudy's vision for a stronger Bay County is driven by his enthusiasm for public service, as well as his commitment to education and economic opportunities.
