State Representative Andrew Beeler (R-Port Huron) has been named Vice Chair of the House Military, Veterans and Homeland Security Committee for the current legislative term. He was also chosen to serve on the Health Policy, Tax Policy and Education committees.
Prior to his election to the House, Beeler spent five years as a Surface Warfare Officer in the United States Navy and was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal for his service aboard the USS Decatur (DDG 73). Prior to receiving his commission, he attended the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
“As a veteran, I understand the sacrifices our military heroes and their families make for their communities and country,” Beeler said. “It’s an honor to be in a position to help our returning service members get the benefits they deserve.”
Rep. Beeler made it clear that he was “very excited” with the committee assignments announced earlier today.
“I am very excited that Speaker Wentworth and the House leadership team have given me this opportunity to fight for the taxpayers of Michigan,” Beeler continued. “I look forward to working for Michigan’s students, developing a coherent strategy to the COVID-19 response and giving taxpayers a voice in the legislative process.”
Beeler is in his first term representing the 83rd House District, encompassing all of Sanilac County and parts of St. Clair County, including Port Huron.
