JoAnn Windholz

JoAnn Windholz (January 22, 1947 to December 14, 2023) was an American politician from the state of Colorado. A Republican, Windholz served one term in the Colorado House of Representatives, representing District 30.

Windholz was from Commerce City, Colorado. She ran for the Colorado House in 2014, and defeated incumbent Jenise May in the general election by 106 votes.

Following the Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shooting, Windholz suggested that Planned Parenthood was the "true instigator" of the attack, stating: "Violence is never the answer, but we must start pointing out who is the real culprit. The true instigator of this violence and all violence at any Planned Parenthood facility is Planned Parenthood themselves. Violence begets violence. So Planned Parenthood: YOU STOP THE VIOLENCE INSIDE YOUR WALLS."

In the 2016 general election, Windholz lost to Democratic challenger Dafna Michaelson Jenet. Windholz received 45.81% of the vote to Michaelson Jenet's 54.19%.

Windholz passed away in 2023 of unknown causes.
