Brandon Woodard is an American politician and Co-Vice Chair of the Kansas Future Caucus under the Millennial Action Project currently serving in the Kansas House of Representatives, representing the 30th House District as a member of the Democratic Party.[1]

Openly gay, he was elected alongside Susan Ruiz as one of the state's first-ever LGBT state legislators.[2] During the campaign, he weathered a controversy when it was revealed that he had previously spent five days in jail for a second offense of driving under the influence.[3]

He has been named the Ranking Minority Member of the House Higher Education Budget Committee starting in January 2020, succeeding Democrat Brandon Whipple, who left the Kansas House of Representatives after being elected Mayor of Wichita, Kansas.[4]
