Wendy Day is looking to head to Lansing as the next State Representative for the 47th District House Seat. She is an conservative activist and military wife who believes, “Michigan citizens, rather than Washington DC, know what is best for their families and businesses.” A long-time activist, she knows how Lansing works and is committed to being a courageous voice that doesn’t cut back room, good-old-boy deals, with the establishment.
“We have all been frustrated by politicians who make campaign promises that seem to align with our values, only to have them fail to stand up for those values once they are in office. Actions, and votes, speak louder than words,” says Wendy, “If voters want a courageous voice who will stand against Washington, DC, it would be an honor to have their support.”

Wendy fought hard as a Howell School Board Trustee to bring transparency and fiscal accountability to the District. She helped develop policies and programs that provided consistent leadership to District employees, more accessibility to the District for parents, and greater transparency to the taxpayers.
When elected to the School Board in 2006, Wendy homeschooled her children. With so many positive changes at Howell Public Schools, all four of her children currently attend schools in the District.
Wendy also served as President of Common Sense in Government, where she took on both parties in an effort to limit government and change the idea that “What happens in Lansing, stays in Lansing.” She was recognized by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy as having a significant role in making Michigan a Right to Work state.
She thwarted an effort to make the illegal dues skimming by the SEIU a permanent and legal practice.
If elected, Wendy would be one of just a handful of Republican women serving in the State House. “It is important to have women’s voices in government,” says Wendy Day, “We see things differently than men and sometimes have different priorities.”
When asked if she plans to be controversial in Lansing, she replied, “If it is worth the fight, I won’t back down. After all, the future belongs to the free.”
