Angela Witwer

Angela Kaye Witwer is an American politician and a Democratic member of the Michigan House of Representatives, serving the 76th House District.

Early life and education Witwer was born in Buckley, Michigan, a village near Traverse City. She grew up on a farm with her parents, George and Marilyn, and her three sisters. She received her bachelor's degree in business and marketing from Northwood University. She has also served as the vice president of Waverly Community Schools Board of Education, and has spent time as a member of the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce Economic Club committee, McLaren Greater Lansing Foundation Board of Directors, and the Wharton Center for Performing Arts Advisory Council. She won by fewer than 800 votes against opponent Christine Barnes.

Witwer won her election in 2022 with over 55% of the vote. She was reelected in 2024.

In March 2025, Witwer broke party lines to vote in favor of a resolution urging enforcement of the federal ban on transgender girls in women’s sports (HR 0040), but later in August voted against House Bill 4066, which would have codified such restrictions into Michigan law.

Personal life Witwer resides in Delta Township, where she has been a resident for almost 50 years. She lives with her husband, Bruce, and has two children and four granddaughters.
