NOAH ARBIT
Noah Arbit 
is a candidate 
for state rep-
resentative in 
Michigan’s 20th 
House District 
— including West Bloomfield, 
eastern Commerce Township, 
Orchard Lake, Keego Harbor 
and Sylvan Lake.
Noah previously served as 
director of communications for 
Oakland County Prosecutor 
Karen McDonald and served 
as a staffer for Gov. Gretchen 
Whitmer, in the Michigan 
House and on the 2016 presi-
dential campaign.
In 2019, Noah founded the 
Michigan Democratic Jewish 
Caucus, a first-of-its-kind 
grassroots political organization 
aiming to provide Michigan’s 
Jewish community a greater 
voice within the Democratic 
Party and to strengthen Jewish 
representation in Michigan pol-
itics and government.
Noah’s politics and his call 
to service are profoundly influ-
enced by his Judaism, and he 
is passionate about the chance 
to provide a strong voice for 
Michigan’s Jewish community 
in Lansing. If elected, he will 
represent more Jews than any 
other representative in the 
Michigan House. At 26, he 
will also be the youngest-ever 
LGBTQ+ person ever elected to 
the state legislature.
Among Noah’s key priorities 
is revising and strengthening 
Michigan’s antiquated hate 
crimes statute, which will help 
protect Jews and other commu-
nities facing increased threats 
and violence.
In his all-too-limited free 
time, Noah enjoys traveling 
abroad and listening to pod-
casts and audiobooks. You
