U.S. Representative Bill Huizenga (MI-04) is notorious for avoiding the bulk of his constituents. Because of his many failures as U.S. Representative we have been running a series of billboards to point them out.

Corporate PAC Money and “Most Corrupt” Listing Huizenga is named on the “Most Corrupt 2026” list due to his campaign finance record and legislative actions. Over his career, he has accepted over $5.6 million in corporate PAC donations, with barely 1% of his 2024 contributions coming from small individual donors. The documents state he has used his position as Vice Chair of the House Financial Services Committee to weaken consumer protection laws and oversight agencies to benefit his corporate donors. Furthermore, he has voted for legislation that enriches the oil and gas industry, ICE lobbyists, and a firm that employed his former aide, while simultaneously taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from them in campaign contributions.

Significant Growth in Personal Wealth During his 15 years in Congress, Huizenga’s personal wealth has skyrocketed, with his net worth increasing by as much as five times and his total assets roughly tripling. Before becoming a congressman, his net worth was estimated between $172,015 and $947,998; by his 2025 disclosures, it had grown to between $885,000 and $2,805,999. A major source of his wealth is the Huizenga Gravel Company, Inc., which he co-owns in Jenison. This business alone brought in between $115,002 and $1,050,000 in income, and he also holds real estate in Holland, Michigan worth up to $1 million, alongside various stocks and mutual funds.

Refusal to Request Federal Earmarks Despite representing a district where approximately 12% of residents live below the poverty line, Huizenga was the only member of Michigan’s congressional delegation who refused to request federal earmarks (community project funding) for his constituents. While other Michigan representatives secured a combined $205 million for 160 local initiatives—like hospitals, infrastructure, and community programs—for the 2026 fiscal year, Huizenga has completely boycotted the process since it was revived in 2021. He justifies his stance by arguing that the system can be abused and shouldn’t be used to increase federal spending, stating, “Never have. And I won’t… it’s still quacks like a duck, walks like a duck”.

2026 Reelection Campaign Huizenga is seeking reelection in November 2026 and currently faces no Republican primary challengers, though several Democrats are vying for their party’s nomination to unseat him. He announced his campaign in December 2025 on social media, writing, “Our work to make Southwest Michigan an even better place to call home isn’t finished!”.

Our work is to ensure that Huizenga is finished.
