State Rep. Josh Schriver will serve on the House Oversight Committee for the 2025-26 legislative term and will play a critical role in delivering deeply needed government transparency and accountability. The House Oversight Committee examines state government operations, including Auditor General reports and legislation affecting the functioning of state government. Schriver will serve as Vice […]

Rep. Josh Schriver (R-Oxford) this week called a plan by Michigan Democrats to allow partial-birth abortions in the state “downright evil.” House Bill 4949-4959, were voted out of committee this morning with one Democrat – Rep. Karen Whitsett — choosing to vote alongside Republicans in a rare move for a partisan piece of legislation. The […]

Dear Neighbor, Our return from Summer Recess has come with some extremely frustrating issues.  Many of the bills I have seen taken up in committee are similar to policies in Illinois, California, Washington, or New York State – not what you would expect in Michigan.  I see the same pattern:  higher taxes, more abortions, a […]

Dear Neighbor, This week marks the end of summer recess. This fall, I was hoping our government would join me in making meaningful headway on issues Michigan residents care about: lowering crime, fixing our roads, reforming our educational system, and securing our elections. Instead, the Governor encouraged the legislature to enact many of the same […]

Dear Neighbor, Right now, the Michigan legislature is on summer recess. I enjoyed meeting with a few of you in Romeo earlier this week and am excited to hear from you at the Oxford Township Board meeting tonight. I’m looking forward to meeting with more of you this month in Washington Township and Ortonville to […]

Dear Neighbor, During July and August, the legislature is on “Summer Recess.” This has been an amazing time for me to develop my office’s legislative initiatives around issues important to the community, and meet with more constituents. Over the past year, I’ve knocked on several thousand doors in Ortonville, Brandon, Oxford, Addison, Leonard, Oakland, Bruce, […]

Monday, June 26, 2023 Hello Neighbor, I’m thankful when asked to explain my votes because much of my work goes into every reason. It would be easy to simply come in and vote on what feels good based on the title of the bill – without really thinking it through. Many times, bills that come […]

Hello Neighbor, As usual, there was a ton of mayhem on the House Floor this week…a prime example of what NOT to do when conducting legislative business: • It wasn’t until Monday night at 6pm that my office received notification of the 30+ bills we would be voting on TuesdayWednesday. This gave all members of […]

Hello Neighbor, State Representative Josh Schriver here! We just upgraded to a new mailing system, which enables my office to communicate with even more residents in District 66 (Ortonville, Brandon, Oxford, Leonard, Addison, Oakland, Lakeville, Washington, Romeo, and Bruce) An official map is located at the bottom of this email. For those of you that […]

I’m here to serve you in complete transparency. I’m an autism clinician, not a politician.  Only 2 of 110 State Representatives in Michigan reported every vote they made (and “why”) last term.  Here are all my most recent votes and reasons (thru 5/18/23): While I don’t have room to get into all the details of these massive […]

Dear Neighbor, In my previous message, I clued you in on a few practical measures involved in our vision of hope to reverse Michigan’s free fall to 41st place. As I sit here on the House Floor, the budget discussions ignore the major obstacle getting in the way of turning Michigan around: a runaway train […]
