Meet Senator Aric Nesbitt
History
PUBLIC SERVICE
In 2010, Nesbitt was elected to represent Van Buren County and part of Allegan County in the Michigan House of Representatives. He served three terms in the state House, achieving results for hardworking taxpayers by balancing budgets and reducing debt, lowering the tax burden, eliminating thousands of regulations, and defending our West Michigan values.
Nesbitt served as the House Majority Floor Leader and chair of the House Committee on Energy and Technology. He also served as a member of Gov. Rick Snyder’s cabinet, managing an agency that generates nearly $1 billion annually for public education.
In 2018, Nesbitt was first elected to the state Senate. He now represents the 20th District, which includes portions of Berrien, Van Buren, Allegan and Kent counties.
He passed into law Senate Bill 1, which reformed auto insurance to provide drivers choices, stop price gouging, and crack down on fraud and lawsuit abuse. Additionally, the senator successfully led the charge to stop Governor Whitmer’s massive tax increases on drivers and small businesses.
Nesbitt currently serves as Senate Republican Leader.
