In 2022, Wozniak chose to return to the House rather than run for another term in the Senate to avoid facing fellow incumbent Senator Ruth Johnson in a primary, after the two were drawn into the same district in the redistricting process. In November 2022, Wozniak ran and successfully won election to the new 59th House District. His term began on Jan. 1, 2023.
