Greg VanWoerkom (born July 24, 1980) is a Republican member of the Michigan House of Representatives, representing the 88th district.Before being elected as state representative, VanWoerkom was the district director for United States Representative Bill Huizenga. VanWoerkom also served as the senior policy adviser to United States Representative Pete Hoekstra. VanWoerkom is a member of the Covenant Life Church.In 2021, VanWoerkom proposed legislation to prohibit Michigan's Secretary of State from mailing ballot applications to voters. VanWoerkom argued this was necessary to prevent "confusion among the public". This came in the wake of the 2020 elections where President Donald Trump and Michigan Republicans spread confusion about ballot applications sent by Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to voters, conflating the ballot applications with actual ballots. VanWoerkom's proposal was part of a larger nationwide effort by Republicans to restrict voting rights in the aftermath of the 2020 elections where Donald Trump and other Republicans made false claims of fraud.
