Info | Serving his first term in the Michigan House of Representatives, State Rep. John Espinoza has spent a lifetime in service to his community and his nation.
Growing up in a family of migrant workers, Rep. Espinoza worked the sugar beets of Michigan's Thumb as a young man. At 18, he enlisted in the Army and was immediately recognized for his leadership skills in basic training. He was shipped off to Vietnam where he earned several awards and decorations for his actions in combat.
After returning from Vietnam, Rep. Espinoza joined the Croswell Police Department and later became a deputy with the Sanilac County Sheriff's Department.
Eventually, Rep. Espinoza re-enlisted in the Army where he rose to the rank of First Sergeant and served in the First Gulf War. He retired from the Army in 1995 with 20 years of service.
Rep. Espinoza also has worked as a teacher with the Carsonville-Port Sanilac School District and was on the staff of former Congressman Jim Barcia as the Military Affairs and Community Outreach Liaison.
In addition, Rep. Espinoza was elected to terms on the Sanilac County Board of Commissioners and the Croswell City Council.
A graduate of Croswell-Lexington High School, Rep. Espinoza holds an Associate's Degree from Central Texas College and a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of the State of New York. He also earned his teaching certification from Saginaw Valley State University.
