Assistant Muskegon County Prosecutor Brian Hosticka has announced his candidacy for 91st District State Representative. Hosticka, 51, also serves as Treasurer on the White Lake Community Library Board of Trustees, representing Whitehall District Schools. This is his first campaign for elected office. He filed Monday April 20 to run as a Democrat against incumbent Greg Vanwoerkom in November.
Hosticka, a third-generation Whitehall native, said he decided to run “because regular working people and small-business owners don’t get a fair shake from their government. I want to do something about that. Recovery from this crisis shouldn’t come at our expense.”
Hosticka did not hold a formal announcement event to kick off his campaign, citing the state’s stay-at-home orders.
“This is going to be a very different election,” he said. “Everybody has to adapt to difficult conditions. But we already have some really smart, energetic volunteers, and we’ll be finding creative ways to take our message to the voters until we can do that in person.”
Hosticka graduated from Whitehall Public Schools. He earned an undergraduate degree in economics from the University of Michigan, and a law degree from the John Marshall Law School in Chicago.
His parents owned the Dog n’ Suds in Montague for many years, and he owned and operated White Lake Dairy Treat in Whitehall.
A father of two teenagers, he resides in Blue Lake Township.
Hosticka pointed to his “real world experience” in contrast to the incumbent.
“I’ve had some tough jobs, from cleaning restrooms at my family’s restaurant to putting felons in prison. The hard-working people of Muskegon County need a representative who knows there’s more to real life than climbing political ladders and doing the bidding of billionaires.
